Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -When using APA format, follow the author-date method of in-text citation. This means that the author’s last name and the year of publication for the source should appear in the text, for example, (Jones, 1998), and a complete reference should appear in the reference list at the end of the paper.
Detailed explanation-2: -If there are three or more authors, only include the first author’s last name followed by “et al.”, meaning “and others”.
