If a reference list includes publications by two or more primary authors with the same surname, include the first author's initials in all text citations, even if the year of the publication differs. Initials help the reader to avoid confusion within the text and to locate the entry in the list of references. References:
For the APA 7th edition style, if I am citing multiple works led by the same first author, but have different multiple co-authors (two or more authors), and are published in different years, how should I cite them? E.g., assume I am citing Alpha, Delta, Beta, & Lambda (2020) and Alpha, Beta, Gamma, & Lambda (2024) together.
The first version of my answer was wrong. Here is the relevant section from the APA Publication Manual: 6.14 Authors With the Same Surname. If a reference list includes publications by two or more primary authors with the same surname, include the first author's initials in all text citations, even if the year of publication differs.
I have two articles, with the same first author, B. G. Cook. The first article has a second author, S. C. Cook. The other article has two other authors (G. J. Smith and M. Tankersley). What is the correct format? Following the format required for references with two first authors with the same surname (this is what biblatex-apa does):
The 7th Edition Abbreviations Guide on the APA's official blog clearly says to always use et al., even in narrative citations. It is on the second page of the document, under the "Latin" column, to the right. The APA blog is much more user friendly and accessible than the manual itself. It has information on everything, from basic referencing ...
For a work by two authors, you either name both authors in the single phrase, or in the parentheses each time you make reference to the work. For example: Foo and Bar (1994) note that the world did not end. The world did not end (Foo & Bar, 1994).
When a work has two authors, cite both names every time the reference occurs in text. When a work has three, four, or five authors, cite all authors the first time, the reference occurs; in subsequent citations, include only the surname of the first author followed by et al. (not italicized and with a period after al ) and the year if it is the ...
I'm writing a short paper on macroeconomics; the professor gave us two tries, I submitted the first try, and now got my feedback. The feedback is: "The first paragraph could also deserve a reference". And these are the two paragraphs this refers to (note the reference [3] in the end):
Depending on your style guide and citation style, you might need to provide more (or less) information in the running text than I did here. Per APA, I included author, date, and page range. The addition of the title does no harm. This is not the APA style of a citation—but it's also not a regular citation, and the information is clear.
When using APA format, follow the author-date method of in-text citation. This means that the author's last name and the year of publication for the source should appear in the text, for example, (Jones, 1998), and a complete reference should appear in the reference list at the end of the paper. So I guess in-text citation should look like this:
