  • For two authors: always include both names.
  • For more than two authors: list all at first citation; afterwards use “et al.”
  • Use idem (italic) to replace the author’s name when citing a different work by the same author.
  • Use Ibidem (italic) for successive citation from the same author and work.
  • If the same author has multiple works in the same year, differentiate with lowercase letters: (Leahu 2016a, p. 556).
  • For web sources with author: e.g., (Saramându 1996). Without author: use the page title in parentheses (Elaborarea și prezentarea rapoartelor de activitate pentru anul 2020).
