I'm assuming you're using the agsm bibliography style. (Do delete the instruction \bibliographystyle{sample}.) If that's the case, you could proceed as follows:

  • Find the file agsm.bst in your TeX distribution. Make a copy of this file and call the copy, say, agsmetal.bst. (Do not edit an original file of the TeX distribution directly.)

  • Open the file agsmetal.bst in a text editor; the program you use to edit your tex files will do fine.

  • In this file, globally replace all five instances of et~al. with \textit{et~al.}.

  • Save the file agsmetal.bst, either in the directory where your main tex files are located or in a directory that's searched by your TeX distribution. If you choose the latter method, be sure to also update the filename database of your TeX distribution.

  • In your main tex file, change the instruction \bibliographystyle{agsm} to \bibliographystyle{agsmetal} and perform a full recompile cycle: LaTeX - BibTeX - LaTeX - LaTeX.

Happy BibTeXing!
