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 list of references.
     
  • 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:  double-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..
