Yes, in Yade doc, or with a classical \documentclass{article} together with \bibliographystyle{unsrt}, it just outputs "et al.". Again, "and others" is just a normal BibTeX command.

Did you actually test it and observe any "joke" ?

Thank you very much for explanation. Sorry if I've been reverting too hastly.
Did you test this "and others" within yade doc and if a few variant bibtex style?
Just to be sure it will not produce further jokes.

Hi Bruno,


It is about paper manuscripts with "authoryear" references style (in text):

\documentclass[authoryear]{elsarticle} together with \usepackage{natbib} typically.


In such case, the older reference displays *in the main text* "and et al." :

"\cite{yade:doc2} made a great code" would give "Smilauer and et al. made a great code" as you got it

However, the references list, such as the one in https://www.yade-dem.org/doc/publications.html would still be fine.


Using "and others" in the BibTeX entry allows to solve the first behavior (the main text) without modifying what appears in the reference list. It will still be "Smilauer et al." in the reference list


"and others" is indeed normally recognized by BibTeX, see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/123600/latex-doesnt-recognize-et-al-in-the-bibliography (the answers at least)
