113: To cite two or more works by the same author,
give the name in the first entry only
. Thereafter, in place of the name, type three hyphens, followed by a period and the title. The three hyphens stand for exactly the same name as in the preceding entry.
When
your parenthetical citation
includes two or more works, order them the same way they appear in the reference list (viz., alphabetically), separated by a semi-colon. If you cite multiple works by the same author in the same parenthetical citation, give the author's name only once and follow with dates.
How do you cite multiple essays from the same book APA?
You can cite
multiple chapters
you use from these books as separate entries in your reference list. Note that if the same author/s wrote the whole book (i.e. authors aren't listed for the individual chapters), then you should cite the book, not the chapter/s.
If a document has six or more authors, simply
provide the last name of the first author with “et al.” from the first citation to the last
.

NOTE: The in-text citation for works with three or more authors is
shortened to the first author's name followed by et al. and the year.
Citing an Author or Authors. A Work by Two Authors:
Name both authors in the signal phrase or in parentheses each time you cite the work
. Use the word “and” between the authors' names within the text and use the ampersand in parentheses.
Cite in text
the first few words of the reference list entry (usually the title) and the year
. Use double quotation marks around the title or abbreviated title.: (“All 33 Chile Miners,” 2010). Note: Use the full title of the web page if it is short for the parenthetical citation.
More Than Seven Authors
List
by last names and initials
; commas separate author names. After the sixth author's name, use an ellipsis in place of the author names. Then provide the final author name. There should be no more than seven names.
List by last names and initials
; commas separate author names, while the last author name is preceded again by ampersand. This is a departure from APA 6, which only required listing the first six authors before an ellipsis and the final author's name.
Specifically,
articles with one or two authors
include all names in every in-text citation; articles with three, four, or five authors include all names in the first in-text citation but are abbreviated to the first author name plus et al.
For a work with
up to 20 authors
, include all of the names in the reference. When the work has 21 or more authors, include only the first 19 names, an ellipsis, and the final name (see this guideline in the fifth and sixth bullets in Section 9.8 of the Publication Manual and Example 4 in Chapter 10).
How do you cite in APA format?
When using APA format,
follow the author-date method of in-text citation
. This means that the author's last name and the year of publication for the source should appear in the text, like, for example, (Jones, 1998). One complete reference for each source should appear in the reference list at the end of the paper.
List only the first author's name followed by “et al.”
in every citation, even the first, unless doing so would create ambiguity between different sources. In et al., et should not be followed by a period. … Since et al. is plural, it should always be a substitute for more than one name.
