USE OF ET AL.

Et al. should be used consistently; for example references to works by 3 authors may give all 3 names at every occurrence or may give them in full the first time and then the first author plus et al. With 3-5 authors, the decision whether to use et al. may depend on whether there is another group with the same first author and the same date, which could be confused. Where several references are cited together in the text they may be placed in chronological order or alphabetical order, or in order of importance, but one system should be used consistently throughout.

 

AUTHOR SURNAME

In the references, author names(s) should be entered in full for each entry. Please do not use a line to indicate the repetition of author names between entries.
