Referencing Multiple Authors

Referencing Multiple Authors                                                                                                                                

  • When using referencing software (e.g., EndNote):
    Allow the automatic insertion of all author names in the reference list, regardless of the number of authors. This is considered acceptable practice.

  • When referencing manually:
    Use et al. in the reference list for works with four or more authors, provided it is applied consistently throughout.
