More than one source at the same time

Answer

When you’re summarising, you may refer to the same idea from more than one source. When you do this, you can list those sources together in your in-text citation.

List the sources in order of the dates that they were published, starting with the earliest. Separate each citation with a semi-colon (;).

Example

(Smith, 1999; Jackson and Williams, 2004; Singh, 2015)

If there is more than one source published in the same year, then list the sources from that year alphabetically by the first author’s last name.

Example

(Smith, 1999; Andrews and Mellors, 2004; Jackson and Williams, 2004; Singh, 2015)
