5.2.3 Works with multiple authors
If a work has two or three authors, all the authors‟ names must be mentioned each
time a reference is made. If the work has four or more authors, use the first author‟s
name and add et al. to replace the other names:

information units” (Quirk et al. 1972: 938).
(See Section 6.1.2 for how it is done in the list of references.)
5.2.4 Citing a work by a corporate author
Authors can also be companies, agencies and commissions. Instead of citing a
person‟s name, you then reference the name of the company, agency or commission:
