First inline citation different than following

kraut_librarian

I was asked to change / build a style with the following requirement:

For 3 to 5 authors of a text, all authors are quoted the first time, after which only the first author is quoted and the abbreviation "et al." is added.
e.g.:
first citation: (Voeth, Austen und Becker, 2013, S. 55)
next citation of the same reference (not ibid!): (Voeth et al., 2014, S. 55)

I have no idea how to do this and have the feeling that it won't work, but would like to double-check with you...

Thanks!
Melanie

Check e.g. APA style for how this is done.
<citation et-al-min="6" et-al-use-first="1" et-al-subsequent-min="3" et-al-subsequent-use-first="1">
