How do I reference more than one author or multiple authors? (OSCOLA)

Answer

Multiple authors

Between 1-3 authors: give all the authors names.

  • Footnote: Martin Dixon, Robert McCorquodale and Sarah Williams
  • Bibliography: Dixon M, McCorquodale R and Williams S

4 or more authors: use ‘and others’

  • Footnote: Declan O'Dempsey and others
  • Bibliography: O'Dempsey D and others

If no author is given, start the footnote with the title and the bibliography entry with a double dash -- .
