Listing Author Names in the Works Cited List
When creating works cited entries, follow the same guidelines for listing names as in in-text citations:
- For books with 1 author, include the author's name
- For books with 2 authors, include both authors' names
- For books with 3 or more authors, include the first author's name followed by et al.
