If there are four or more authors, then use the first three followed by et al. (not italicized anymore).


Differences I have found so far:
Last name of authors in references should not be capitalized
No period and space between initials
First and middle initials are always after the last name with no comma between (Last AB, Last AC.
Volume is now included: issue(volume):pages.
DOI is included at the end.

I don't know what the cutoff was but not et al. is added if there are 11 or more authors.

Thank you for your help
