Preguntas frecuentes

How many authors do I list before using 'et al.'?

Harvard varies by institution, but typically list first author et al. for 4+ authors in in-text citations.

Do I always need the issue number?

Include it if available, but it's not always required if pages are unique across the volume.

Should I include both DOI and URL?

Include DOI if available, as it's more stable. If no DOI, use the URL.
