How to Cite More Than One Author in APA Format
- 1). Cite more than one author in your works-cited list: Write the names of the authors first, followed by the year, the title of the article (if applicable), the publication (in italics), the volume number and the page numbers.
Example 1: "King, D.J., & Stanley, M.T. (2009). The power of giving. Hope Magazine, 22, 33-35."
Example 2: "King, D.J., Stanley, M.T., & Stanton, J.L. (2009). The power of giving. Hope Magazine, 22, 33-35." - 2). Cite more than one author with an in-text citation (method 1): Write the names of the authors first, followed by the year. If there are more than five authors, write the name of the first author followed by "et al." and the year.
Example 1: "The studies of King and Stanley (2009) support..."
Example 2: "The studies of King, Stanley, & Stanton (2009) support..."
Example 3: "The studies of King et al. (2009) support..." - 3). Cite more than one author with an in-text citation (method 2): Follow the same rules as in Step 2 except place the text in parenthesis.
Example 1: "(King & Stanley, 2009)..."
Example 2: "(King, Stanley, & Stanton, 2009)..."
Example 3: "(King et al., 2009)..."
