I write a thesis, use zotero and LaTeX with VS Code, citing style is APA Style 7th edition. According to the table "Multiple authors in APA in-text citations" in Scribbr I can abbreviate group names and I have to list only the first author followed by "et al." if more than two authors given. But it does not work. How to accomplish this?

My preamble looks like this:

(...)

% APA Style for BibTeX
\usepackage[style=apa,natbib=true,backend=biber]{biblatex}


(...)

For citing in text I generally use:

\citet[p.~100]{dellermann2019}

or

\citep[p.~100]{dellermann2019}

It gives me an output like this:

They acknowledge this as an initial taxonomy (Dellermann, Calma, et al., 2019, p. 274-p. 27)

Here, it should output: They acknowledge this as an initial taxonomy (Dellermann et al., 2019, p. 274-p. 27)

Summarizing: What I want is:

"[1st_author] et al. [year]".

But my code give me the output

"[1st_author], [2nd_author], et al., [year]"

  1. I want the author (which is a group) to be abbreviated in subsequent citations. It does not work either. Always the full name is output in the text. There is this document, published by the Joint Research entre (JRC).

The out put is always (first and subsequent citations) using \citep command:

(Joint Research Centre, 2020, p. 5).

I want it to be listed with full name followed by abbreviation like so in the first listing in the text:

(Joint Research Centre [JRC], 2020)

and like so in the subsequent listings in the text:

(JRC, 2020)

Please see the table "Multiple authors in APA in-text citations" in Scribbr. There is a listing for narrative and parenthetical citation (APA 7 Style).
