Now, things get a little more interesting when you have three or more authors. In this case, you can use the et al. abbreviation, which is short for "et alii" or "and others". For example, if you have a source with four authors, you would list the first author's name, followed by et al. - simple, yet effective!
But, what if you need to cite multiple authors with the same last name? Well, in this case, you would use the authors' first initials to differentiate between them. For instance, J. Smith and M. Smith would be two separate authors with the same last name. It's like a special code that helps you keep track of who's who!
And, let's not forget about group authors - you know, those organizations or companies that publish reports and documents. When citing a group author, you would use the full name of the organization in the text, and the abbreviation in the Works Cited page. For example, would be cited as Levi's Jeans in the text, and LJ in the Works Cited page - pretty cool, huh?
