Tips for Multiple Authors

Provide surnames and initials for up to and including 20 authors. When there are two to 20 authors, use an ampersand before the final author's name.

• Example: Author, A. A., Author, B. B., & Author, C. C.

When there are 21 or more authors, include the first 19 authors' names, insert an ellipsis (but not ampersand), and then add the final author's name.

• Example: Author, A. A., Author, B. B., Author, C. C., Author, D. D., Author, E. E., Author, F. F., Author, G. G., Author, H. H., Author, I. I., Author, J. J., Author, K. K., Author, L. L., Author, M. M., Author, N. N., Author, O. O., Author, P. P., Author, Q. Q., Author, R. R., Author, S. S., . . . Author, Z. Z.

In-Text Citation

NOTE: When a work has 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. For more information, see Sections 8.17 & 8.18 of the APA Style Manual (7th Edition).

Parenthetical citation: 

• Paraphrase: (Westhues et al., 2001)
• Quotation: ​(Westhues et al., 2001, p. 40)

Narrative citation: Westhues et al. (2001)

A work is treated as having no author when its author is unknown or cannot reasonably be determined. In this case, move the title of the work to the author position (followed by a period), before the date of publication.

In-Text Citations

• For works with an unknown author, include the title and year of publication in the in-text citation.
• Italicize the title in the in-text citation if the title of the work is italicized in the reference list.
• If the title of the work is not italicized in the reference list, use double quotation marks around the title.
• Capitalize these titles in the text using title case, even though sentence case is used in the reference list entry.
• If the title is long, shorten for in-text citation.
