Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Number of Authors to Include in In-text Citations For a work with three or more authors, include the name of only the first author plus “et al.” in every citation, including the first citation, unless doing so would create ambiguity.
Detailed explanation-2: -If there are more than three authors, provide et al. (meaning ‘and others’) after the first author in the text of the paper. In the reference list, however, list all the authors for up to six authors– use et al. only if the names are not given.
