Here’s the takeaway: don’t let the "multiple authors" thing scare you. It’s just a little formatting puzzle. Use alphabetical order by the first author's last name, and you’re golden. And if you ever get lost, imagine you’re throwing a party. The first author is the host, and et al. is your way of saying, "…and their amazing friends are here too."
So go ahead, cite that group of researchers with confidence. You’re not just following rules—you’re paying respect to the collective brainpower that made your paper smarter. And honestly, that’s pretty rad. Now go finish that Works Cited page—you’ve totally got this.
