Do you list all authors in APA format when citing sources?

No, APA style does not require listing *all* authors for every source. The rules depend on the number of authors:

* One or two authors: List all authors every time you cite the source.

* Three or more authors: List only the first author's surname followed by "et al." (meaning "and others") for all subsequent citations after the first full citation. The first citation needs to list all authors.

Therefore, you only list all authors in the first instance of a citation if there are three or more authors. Subsequent citations shorten the author list.
