In-text referencing when paraphrasing a document from a website where there are two or 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:

• The family names of all the authors.
• No initials.
• The year of publication.
