What's the best way to combine multiple references to support one argument or point?

Answer

If you wish to show that you have read multiple sources that discuss the same topic or support the same point, then you should put the sources into chronological order (earliest first) and separate them with a semi-colon.

(Adams and Birch, 2018, p. 14; Jones, 2021, pp. 1-2; Smith et al., 2023, p. 162) 

 

This format should also be used if you create a table or chart using information from different sources.
