Limiting Number of Authors
Dear, Zotero Community,
Greetings
I need to know how I can limit the number of authors, for instance I need to put ten authors in a manuscript on bibliographic list and the rest should be et al. Please show the steps simply. Thanks

Documentation is available on http://docs.citationstyles.org/en/stable/specification.html
Example how it is coded in a style you can find in any style used it - for example see https://www.zotero.org/styles/academy-of-management-review?source=1 for et al. used for 6+ authors.
Code for you should be:
<bibliography et-al-min="11" et-al-use-first="10" ...
simmilar question, et al. should be writen after the first six authors.

References
In-text citations
Brain uses parenthetical citations in-text with the following stipulations:
Ascending chronological order followed by alphabetical order;
et al. is in italics and used if there are more than two authors;
Last name of the first author is followed by comma then a space then the year;
Citations are separated by semi-colons;
If an author appears on two citations in one year add a, b in italics after the year;
References should not be numbered either in the text or list of citations;
The punctuation in the text should follow the style of the journal (see current issue). e.g. (Richardson, 1996; Alberts, 2001, 2009; Smith and Black, 2008a; Bolton et al., 2010a, b).
Reference list
Bibliographic references should be limited to essential literature. References should be listed at the end of the paper in alphabetical order and not numbered. Author names are listed to a maximum of six and any further names should be indicated by et al.
For helpful examples of reference formatting consult Uniform requirements for Manuscripts submitted to Biomedical Journals. Please see common examples in the Table below. Any manuscript with an incorrectly formatted reference list will be returned to the author.
