Authors in all types of references are listed in the following example format, with changes being made based on the number:

For two authors, each name will be listed in the same format with a comma and ampersand separating them.
Three to seven authors are listed with each being separated by a comma, and the last author being preceded by an ampersand.
For more than seven authors, list the first six followed by an ellipsis before listing the last author:
