Same first author, same year inline format in APA7
Dear community,
I am trying to fix the issue that 3 publications with the same first author in APA7 are not properly formated in GoogleDoc (Zotero Plugin).
There is one comma too much after correctly adding the second author for distinguishing the papers.
So the inline citations look like this:
(Norden, XY, et al., 2022)
(Norden, XZ, et al., 2022)
(Norden, XW, et al., 2022)
There should not be a comma after the "et al.", right? I couldn't solve it with the style editor so far.
I would appreciate your help.

bwiernikYou are incorrect. APA style has a comma after et al before the year
