Struggling with citing a research paper with multiple authors? You're not alone.

Writing a thesis can


be a daunting task, and properly citing sources adds another layer of complexity. When dealing with
multiple authors, the task becomes even more challenging. However, fear not! Help is available.

Citing research papers with multiple authors requires careful attention to detail and adherence to
specific citation styles such as APA, MLA, or Chicago. Each style has its own guidelines for
formatting citations, including how to list multiple authors.

In APA style, for example, you'll need to list all authors the first time you cite the source, followed
by "et al." for subsequent citations. MLA style, on the other hand, uses the "et al." abbreviation for
all citations with three or more authors. Chicago style provides options for either listing all authors
or using "et al." for citations with four or more authors.
