What is the proper way to include multiple author names in in-text citations?
Do I need to list all of the authors at the end of sentence?
For example: Bipolar disorder has proven to have cognitive implications for patients (author, author, author, author, author, yr).
Answer
When a source has three or more authors, list the first author's name followed by et al., followed by the publication year:
Example: The four authors are Hathaway, Streep, DeNiro, and Pacino
...the conclusion that good actors can be in terrible movies (Hathaway et al., 2019).
