Citation Error

muhsinacar

Hello,
Some of my references are being cited wrong. I want APA format and I have four authors in one paper, Zotero cites the last name of all authors instead of giving only first one (First et al. ,1999) . Whis is this happening? Thank you

Correct APA style is to list up to five authors the first time an item is cited.

Ok. Thanks for the quick response

I have all my reference list errors,
for example, it shows like this

Berry, R. (2011). Assessment for learning: Research and policy in the (Dis) United Kingdom. London, UK: Springer.

instead of like this

Berry, R. (2011). Assessment for learning: Research and Policy in the (Dis) United
Kingdom. London, UK: Springer

How can I change that automatically? Thanks

It seems like you have it wrong (Title Case) directly in the Zotero. For explanation see https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/sentence_casing

Hello,
Please give me instruction to correct APA style because I do not know to list up to five authors the first time an item is cited.

Thank you very much.

Best regards,
