First quote has always the first three authors, instead of "et al.,"
When I include a quote from a multi-author study, the style is almost always the same, which is fine (xx, et al., Xx). But for some, when I insert a quote from this study for the first time, the first three authors are used instead (xx, et al., Xx). If then I add the same quote a page after, then it looks as usual. Why some are working form the very beginning on and why do I need a first quote with the first three authors?
How can I change this issue?
thank you

thank you
What style are you using?
Test 1 (Linton, Overmeer, Janson, Vlaeyen & de Jong, 2010)
Test 2 (Linton et al., 2010)
Same style and same document. when I take another study with several authors it works from the very beginning on. It happend only on some studies
Style is Deutsche Gesellschaft für Phsychologie
The rules in DGFP/APA 6 are:
6 or more authors: Always use first author et al
3-5 authors: Use all authors on first citation, first author et al on all subsequent citations
1-2 authors: Always use all authors
yes that was it. I am supposed to use this style, so maybe it will be fine then.
There would be a way to change that?
thanks
