my citations are incosistent

hi everyone, i need urgent help!!

my citations despite selecting "Harvard citation" (cite them right 12 edition" and refreshing it several times is inconsistent.

some of the citations appear as (Author name et al, date)

example:
Eisenbeiß, S.A. and Boerner, S. (2013) ‘A Double‐edged Sword: Transformational Leadership and Individual Creativity’, British Journal of Management, 24(1), pp. 54–68. Available at: https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-8551.2011.00786.x.

Eva, N. et al. (2019) ‘Servant Leadership: A systematic review and call for future research’, The Leadership Quarterly, 30(1), pp. 111–132. Available at: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.leaqua.2018.07.004.

please let me know how to fix the ones that are inconsistent? appreciate your help.

regards,
  • Sorry, it's not clear what's inconsistent about this? References with many authors use et al
  • Hello Adamsmith,

    thanks for your feedback, Harvard citations mentions all authors with a comma after each one without using et al, like the first example.

    however, in the second example it does not mention authors following the first one which makes the citations throughout the body and reference list inconsistent.

    hope it's clear now.

    awaiting your valuable response.
  • That's not a general rule. We have versions both with and without et al. for the Cite Them Right variety of Harvard, the version without is here: https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=id:harvard-cite-them-right-no-et-al
  • thank you so much for your assistance. i will try it
