If both are in parenthesis, the name of the author and the year of publication are separated by a comma. Consecutive citations in the text are placed in chronological order and separated by a semicolon. If there are more than two authors, only the first author's name is given followed by the phrase, et al. However, in the list of literature cited, names of the first author and the co-authors should be given. Literature cited should be listed alphabetically by given author's names.
