Hello all,<br>
<br>
The APs in PO are looking for some clarification. Our understanding
is that et al. is never to be used in the Reference section as all
authors are to be listed. However, a PI may use et al. in SciENcv in
the products section if the list of authors is too unwieldy and the
PI chooses to do so. The allowed number of pages for the Bio Sketch,
created with SciENcv, has increased to three.<br>
<br>
Below are quotes from the PAPPG. <br>
Is this your interpretation as well?<br>
<br>
Thank you! Jean<br>

<font size="+1"><b>Reference List</b><br>
<blockquote type="cite">Reference information is required. Each
reference must include the names of all authors (in the same
sequence in which they appear in the publication), the article
and journal title, book title, volume number, page numbers, and
year of publication. </blockquote>
<br>
<b>Biographical Sketches</b><br>
<blockquote type="cite">The PAPPG requires that publication
citations "include full citation information, including (where
applicable and practicable) the names of all authors..." Senior
personnel that wish to include publications in the products
section of the biographical sketch that include multiple authors
may, at their discretion, choose to list one or more of the
authors and then "et al." in lieu of including the complete
listing of authors' names. See <a
href="https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/policydocs/pappg20_1/pappg_2.jsp#IIC2fic">PAPPG
Chapter II.C.2.f(i)(c)</a> for complete coverage of the
requirements for the biographical sketch.</blockquote>
