Detailed explanation-1: -If there are at least six authors, then you may use “et al.” from the first mention. In all cases, you should use the last name of the first author followed by “et al.” in your in-text citation.
Detailed explanation-2: -If you are citing a source with four, five, six or seven authors, the surname of only the first person attributed as one of the source’s authors should be included in your in-text citation, followed by the words ‘et al’. The surname and initial(s) of all the authors should appear in the full reference for the source.
Detailed explanation-3: -2 Authors: Always cite both authors’ names in-text everytime you reference them. Example: Johnson and Smith (2009) found 6 or More Authors: If a document has six or more authors, simply provide the last name of the first author with “et al.” from the first citation to the last. Example: Thomas et al. 24-Feb-2021
