Articles with More
than Three Authors
The following rules show how citations would be formatted if
more than three authors are listed for a work.
- MLA: If there are more than three authors, include the last
and first name of the first author followed by a comma and
the phrase "et al." Example:
Patten, Michael A., et al.
- APA: Show names as in the example above when there are three to six authors. When
there are more than six authors, include the first six authors in the same
style as above and end the list of the first six with the phrase "et al."
Example:
Nolan, C., Millet, M., MacAlpine, B., Donald, J., Harris, B., Costanza, J.,
Caraway, B., et al.
- Chicago (Documentation 1): It is customary to include all of
the authors as they are listed on the title page. However, Documentation Style
1 in Chicago does allow that the author list be abbreviated to the last and
first name of the first author listed, followed by "et al." or "and others"
without intervening punctuation. Example:
Patten, Michael A. et al.
or
Patten, Michael A. and others.
- Chicago (Documentation 2): Include all authors regardless of number in the
order they appear on the book's title page when creating your Bibliography.
- ASA: Include all authors regardless of number in the order they
appear on the book's title page when creating your Bibliography.
- Turabian: Include all authors regardless of number in the
order they appear on the book's title page when creating your Bibliography.
Abbreviated author entries are allowed in endnotes or footnotes, using the
terms "et al." or "and others." See page 188 of A Manual for Writers of
Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations by Kate L. Turabian (available in
the library's Ready Reference section) for further information.
Spacing Citations
Each citation style has specific rules for indentation and spacing within
entries. The
first line of each citation should start at the left margin and subsequent lines subsequent lines
should be indented. Use the following guidelines when preparing your list
of resources:
- MLA: double-space the Works Cited page
- APA: double-space the References page
- Chicago: single-space the Bibliography page
- ASA: double-space the References page
- Turabian: single-space within each entry and double-space between entries
on the Works Cited page
Your list of citations should always be organized alphabetically. For more
detailed information on formatting your essay and creating citations, refer to
the published citation style
guides.
Avoiding Plagiarism
Writers cite their sources for a number of different reasons. However,
there is not a single good reason for the improper use or faulty citation of
research sources. Visit the Citing
Sources Menu Page for information on avoiding plagiarism..
