A. SOURCES WITH TWO AUTHORS
When there are two authors for one source, you would document it in the following manner:
1) at the end of the sentence:
The Laws of Magnetism show that like poles repel (Goffart and Marsh 1995).
2) as a part of the sentence:
Goffart and Marsh (1995) demonstrated that the Laws of Magnetism show that like poles repel.
B. SOURCES WITH THREE OR MORE AUTHORS
When there are three or more authors for one source, you would document it using “et al.” as the indicator that there are multiple authors of the same reference material. This is done in the following manner:
1) at the end of the sentence:
Electrons are negatively charged particles (Jamieson et al. 1996).
2) as a part of the sentence:
Jamieson et al. (1996) found that electrons are negatively charged particles.
C. MORE THAN ONE SOURCE FOR THE SAME INFORMATION
When there are several sources containing the exact same information, you would place them in chronological order first (by year) and if any were published in the same year, you would put these in alphabetical order:
Atoms have a tiny, dense nucleus (Phillips 1990; Goffart and Marsh 1995; Orrett 1995; Jamieson et al. 1996).
