Et al. is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase et alii, which means "and others". Since al. is an abbreviation, it is properly spelled with a period/full stop.
In Latin, "et al." (short for "et alii," meaning "and others") should indeed have a period after it, as it is an abbreviation. However, "et ano" is not a standard Latin abbreviation and does not typically require a period. If you meant "et al." or another specific abbreviation, it would depend on the context in which it is used.
In academic writing, "et al." should be punctuated with a period after "al" and should be italicized or underlined to indicate it is a foreign term.
It is short for the Latin et alii ('and others'), which means "and others." For example, the phrase "IBM, Microsoft, HP, et al." means "IBM, Microsoft, HP and others" or "Carruthers et al."- "Carruthers and others".
"Et al." is pronounced as "et al-ee."
In a text document, "et al." should be written in lowercase with a period after "al" to indicate it is an abbreviation for "et alia," meaning "and others." It is typically used in citations when referring to a source with multiple authors, following the name of the first author. For example: "Smith et al. (2020) found that..." Additionally, ensure that "et al." is italicized according to most style guides.
Notation for subsequent multiple authors is et al. (the period is required after the al.).
The proper way to type the Latin phrase is et al. The two words are italicized, and a period comes after the second word in the phrase. The phrase is an abbreviated way of saying 'et alia', which means 'and others'.
