According to the APA 6th guide (e.g. https://research.moreheadstate.edu/c.php?g=107001&p=695202) if I have more than 6 authors, I should use "et al." from the first citation. I used this answer to get biblatex
to print "et al." for all other quotes after I citied it once (How to get et al. beginning with the 2nd citation with biblatex-chicago). But now a citation with more than 6 authors is printed with all authors and not just the first author and "et al." Any idea how to achieve both at the same time? Below is my code:
\usepackage[style=apa,
backend=biber,
language=american,
hyperref=true,
uniquelist=true,
citetracker=true,
maxcitenames=1]{biblatex}
\DeclareLanguageMapping{american}{american-apa}
\AtEveryCitekey{\ifciteseen{}{\defcounter{maxnames}{99}}}
%bibfile
\begin{filecontents}{myfile.bib}
@article{Hein.2020,
author = {Hein, Andreas and Schreieck, Maximilian and Riasanow, Tobias and Setzke, David Soto and Wiesche, Manuel and B{\"o}hm, Markus and Krcmar, Helmut}
}
@article{Jacobides.2018,
author = {Jacobides, Michael G. and Cennamo, Carmelo and Gawer, Annabelle}
}
\end{filecontents}
\begin{document}
\parencite{Jacobides.2018}
\parencite{Jacobides.2018}
\parencite{Hein.2020}.
\end{document}
Which yields:
(Jacobides, Cennamo, and Gawer, 2018)
(Jacobides et. al, 2018)
(Hein, Schreieck, Riasanow, Setzke, Wiesche, Bohm, & Krcmar, 2020).
And should look like:
(Jacobides, Cennamo, and Gawer, 2018)
(Jacobides et. al, 2018)
(Hein et al., 2020)
