  • When citing one or two authors in-text, never use et al.; instead, always provide the author(s)' names.
    True
  • When providing two or more authors' names in a parenthetical citation, use "and" to join the names, not the ampersand symbol. For example, (Lastname, Lastname, and Lastname, year, p. X).
    False. Use ampersand inside parenthetical in-text citations and references. Use "and" in a narrative citation where the authors' names are part of the sentence.
  • The year of publication should be included in parentheses when an author is named in the text and a full citation is required. For example: "Lastname (year) argued that...".
    True. The publication year helps readers locate the specific reference entry corresponding to the cited text following the author name.
