The correct format for an APA parenthetical citation when citing a source with three authors is to include all three authors' last names separated by commas, followed by the publication year in parentheses. For example: (Smith, Jones, Brown, 2020).
(Attack of the Robot Accountant 214) would be the correct parenthetical citation for citing multiple works by the same author.
When citing a source with no author in a parenthetical citation, use the title of the source in quotation marks followed by the page number (if available). For example, ("Title of Source" page number).
When citing a poem or play, the parenthetical citation should generally include the line number for poetry and the page number for a play. This helps the reader locate the specific passage you are referencing within the work. Make sure to follow the specific guidelines of the citation style you are using.
In MLA style, an author-page style parenthetical citation should include the author's last name and the page number(s) from the source. A parenthetical citation for a print source (books, magazines, scholarly journal articles, newspapers) with a known author should include a signal word or phrase (usually the author's last name) and a page number. A parenthetical citation for print source with no known author should include a shortened title of the work and a page number. Other things that may need to be included in a parenthetical citation include information about the edition of the source, a first initial if authors have the same last name, the volume number if citing from different volumes of a multi-volume work, and, when citing the Bible, the version you are using along with book, chapter, and verse.
(McApplebutter 214)(McApplebutter, Attack of the Robot Accountant 214)
You use "and" to join authors in a citation when you are citing a work with multiple authors. For example, "Smith and Jones (2018) found that..." would be used to credit both authors for their contribution to the research.
When citing a book in text with multiple authors, include all the authors' last names in the citation. For example, (Smith, Johnson, Lee, 2021).

A parenthetical citation is an in-text reference that follows a quote or paraphrased passage, referring to a full citation of the work in a list that follows the article or chapter. An example would be (Jones, 2010) which corresponds to a 2010 book or article by someone named Jones, with complete information in the references list.
