When do you use and to join authors in a citation?

You use "and" to join authors in a citation when:

1. You are listing two authors:

* Example: Smith, J., and Jones, A. (2023).

2. You are listing three or more authors in a reference list:

* Example: Brown, K., Green, R., and White, T. (2022).

3. You are listing multiple authors in the text of your paper (in parentheses):

* Example: A recent study found that (Smith and Jones, 2023).

However, you use an ampersand (&) instead of "and" in some cases:

* In parenthetical citations with more than two authors:

* Example: (Brown, Green, & White, 2022).

* In reference lists when using the APA style guide:

* Example: Brown, K., Green, R., & White, T. (2022).

It's important to follow the specific style guide's rules for formatting citations. Check your style guide (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago) for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
