If there are two authors, the conjunction “and” will be included between them. If there are three or more authors, the last name of the first will be indicated followed by the phrase et al. If authors with the same last name coincide, the second last name must be added, while if they are brothers, the initial of the first name must be added after the last name. If they are brother co-authors, the initials of their names must appear after the first surname (Sánchez, J. and L. 1999: 57).

If there are two authors, they will be joined by the conjunction "and". If there are several authors, their names will be separated by commas, introducing the conjunction "and" between the last two. In the event that the same author has several works, the ordering will be done by the date of publication, from the oldest to the most recent. If two or more publications by the same author or authors coincide in the same year, they will be distinguished with lowercase letters (1997a, 1997b, etc.).
