<p class="MsoNormal">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>
