- Use an ampersand (&) between author surnames when the citation is parenthetical: (Kozlowsky & Pallardy 1997).
- When a citation is not parenthetical, use and: “These findings are consistent with the predictions of Mayer and Koch (2007).
- For citations with more than two authors, use et al.: (Marsoem et al. 2015). Do not italicize et al.
- List parenthetical citations chronologically (from oldest to most recent) and separate entries with a semicolon: (Siddique et al.2012; Alemaheyu et al. 2014).
