5. When citing authors in the text, acknowledge only the first author where there are three or more authors, e.g. Williams et al.(1994) stated that .....(1). Where there are two authors cite both, e.g. Jones and Smith (1997) reported that ....(2). Note that a reference at the end of a sentence is included before the period.
