In-text referencing when paraphrasing from a published conference paper 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 author’s name 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.

(a) Bartlett et al. (2001) suggest there is a realisation that the role of human resource development (HRD) needs to shift from a traditional role of selection, training and supporting, to one that includes the needs of employees and managers who work across global markets in  multinational organisations.

or

(b) there is a realisation that the role of human resource development (HRD) needs to shift from a traditional role of selection, training and supporting, to one that includes the needs of employees and managers who work across global markets in  multinational organisations (Bartlett et al. 2001).

Note:

• Do not add page numbers or quotation marks when paraphrasing.
• The full stop is placed after the bracket when the citation is at the end of the sentence (See - Example b)
