How do I write multiple authors in a reference?
Answer
For a work with up to 20 authors, include all of the names in the reference. When the work has 21 or more authors, include only the first 19 names, an ellipsis, and the final name
Sample reference with less than 21 authors:
Dahake, J. S., Verma, N., & Bawiskar, D. (2024). Magnesium sulfate and its versatility in anesthesia: A comprehensive review. Cureus, 16(3).
Sample reference with more than 21 authors:
Rondanelli, M., Faliva, M. A., Tartara, A., Gasparri, C., Perna, S., Infantino, V., ...Peroni, G. (2021). An update on magnesium and bone health. Biometals, 34(4), 715-736.
