How do you find who are the lead authors if there's more than one?
I was looking at the above paper, and I was trying to know who are the lead author so I can cite them.
Smith, Jones, Young, et al., 2001
APA tells us to cite the lead author and then add et al. if there are other authors than the lead authors, but most papers don't seem to carry the information on who is or are the lead author of a paper.
