I’m configuring the author list for in-text citations according to APA 7th reference. My requirement is: for citations with 1-2 authors, full author surnames should be shown for both the first and subsequent uses; if there are 3 or more authors, only the first author surname should be displayed with et al for both the first and subsequent uses. Although I tried to adjust the settings accordingly, the outcome did not meet my requirements.
I would greatly appreciate your guidance in addressing this issue if possible!
I’m sorry for the confusion. I attached the image in order to ensure that I’m not looking at the wrong settings.
I just followed your instruction, but it still doesn’t seem to work in Word when inserting citation using the Endnote Plug. I think I should mention this point intially, apology for any inconivence.
I attached new images to illustrate my requirements. Thanks for your reply!!
Sorry for late reply. I followed your steps but the citation I required still hasn’t change. So I tried more other reference with more than 3 authors and found that it works. Upon further investigation, I found the problem did stem from the author in the record although it has each author on a separate line. I’m still trying to fix it as there seems to be no difference between them in terms of format.
Anyway, thank you for your careful clarification and guidance so that the key point was addressed.
Best wishes!
