All authors or editors names are to be provided in the order in which they appear on the title page of the publication.
In text when the names are within brackets, insert an ampersand (‘&’) between the last two authors. When the names are part of the sentence, insert ‘and’ between the last two authors.
All authors need to be named the first time you refer to them within your paper. Thereafter, the in-text citation shows only the name of the first author, followed by ‘et al.’ (meaning ‘and others’).
If you are dealing with editors rather than authors, insert the editor's name in place of an author's name in the reference list entry followed by "(Ed.)" without the quotation marks.
In the case of six or more authors, the in-text reference should list the name of the first author followed by 'et al.' However, if, for example, you want to use two publication where the first two authors are the same, but the third one is different, then include up to the first different author.
Where a text has eight more authors, in the reference list, include the first six names, then insert 3 spaced dots (spaced ellipsis points) and add the last author's name.
