[Kelly J Servant]

Subject: [Flex] NSF PAPPG: Using et al.

Hello all,

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.

Below are quotes from the PAPPG.
Is this your interpretation as well?

Thank you! Jean

Reference List

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.

Biographical Sketches

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 PAPPG Chapter II.C.2.f(i)(c)<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nsf.gov%2Fpubs%2Fpolicydocs%2Fpappg20_1%2Fpappg_2.jsp%23IIC2fic&data=04%7C01%7Ckservant%40whoi.edu%7Cc4ccd62b02644a9dd45608d983669271%7Cd44c5cc6d18c46cc8abd4fdf5b6e5944%7C0%7C0%7C637685298849154345%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=0eJbP8tbpxb5DnrEUxvuiFozniuxL9DGp4HFKAjrttY%3D&reserved=0> for complete coverage of the requirements for the biographical sketch.
