I am writing my thesis in Overleaf and I would like to show always only 1 author in references (if there is more than 1 author). After the first author, to show "et al., YYYY" (APA style).
Currently, it shows like that in some cases, but not for all. I am not an expert in latex and I understand some of the packages importation order is incorrect. See how I have my code:
main.tex
\documentclass[oneside, 12pt, fleqn]{memoir}
\usepackage{format}
\usepackage[justification=centering, labelsep=period]{caption}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{indentfirst}
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{newtxtext}
\usepackage{newtxmath}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{doi}
\usepackage{apacite} %APA style referencing
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{gensymb}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{ragged2e} %for centering
\usepackage{float} %to avoid floating figures
\usepackage{booktabs} %merge columns
\usepackage{lscape} %vertical table
\usepackage{hyperref}
references.tex
\renewcommand{\bibname}{REFERENCES}
\bibliography{references}
\bibliographystyle{apacite} %APA style referencing
references.bib

Current output:
apaciteuses full names for first mention of authors up to 3 and "et al." subsequently. There's no trivial way to turn this off, but you can override it using the\shortcitescommands. See How to reduce the number of authors above >3 to 'First Author et al., (year)'?. Alternatively, you could switch tobiblatexand then things get a little easier. – Alan Munn Jul 19 '23 at 21:37biblateximplementation is of APA7 and I think you get this behaviour out of the box. – Alan Munn Jul 20 '23 at 12:09
