Formatting Author information: Always list the author’s surname before listing his or her initials. You only need to provide initials for the first and middle names, but do include initials for all middle names provided by the source. Include a comma after every last name and in-between different authors’ names.
Include the names of all authors in the reference as they are written on the title page. If there are two authors, the names should be separated by ‘and’, if there are three, by a comma between the first two and ‘and’ between the second.
Can an article have more than one author?
Yes, you can. An article can have more than one corresponding author.
How do you list a source written by several authors?
A Work by Three or More Authors List only the first author’s name followed by “et al.” in every citation, even the first, unless doing so would create ambiguity between different sources. In et al., et should not be followed by a period. Only “al” should be followed by a period.
There are a tremendous number of books with two authors. Some are written under a single pen name, like Charles Todd and Christina Lauren. Some are a powerhouse team, like Kill the Farmboy by Delilah S. Dawson and Kevin Hearne and the soon-to-be released What If It’s Us by besties Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera.
APA in-text citations with multiple authors If a work has two authors, separate their names with an ampersand (&) in a parenthetical citation or “and” in a narrative citation. If there are three or more authors, only include the first author’s last name followed by “et al.”, meaning “and others”.
When to use more than one reference by the same author?
Two or More Works by the Same Author in the Same Year If you are using more than one reference by the same author—or the same group of authors listed in the same order—published in the same year, first check to see if they have more specific dates (this recommendation is new to APA 7).
How are references to the same book arranged?
Two or More Works by the Same Author. References that have the same first author and different second and/or third authors are arranged alphabetically by the last name of the second author, or the last name of the third if the first and second authors are the same.
The easiest way to add author affiliations is with the authblk package. If you add: to your preamble, you can then fill in the author and affiliation commands with the information you need, for example:
List by last names and initials; commas separate author names. After the sixth author’s name, use an ellipsis in place of the author names. Then provide the final author name. There should be no more than seven names. Miller, F. H., Choi, M. J., Angeli, L. L., Harland, A. A., Stamos, J. A., Thomas, S. T., . . .
