In-text referencing when paraphrasing from a book with more than three authors.

There are two options for in-text referencing:

1. Adding a citation at the end of a sentence.
2. Using the authors' names as part of your sentence.

Essential information to include:

• Use only the family name of the first writer, followed by the words ‘et al.’ (Latin for ‘and others’).
• No initials are required.
• You must also identify the year of publication.
