Hi, I just want to know that in some books we can see the sentence like this Krish et al , was proposed the work in medicinal plant et al means - Krisk, David, Jhon Yes, et al. is fine, although you need a period rather than a comma after the abbreviation 'al'. Actually, the period is often omitted.

Hi Nano,

Latin, of course. Your analysis is correct if David and Jhon were part of the team. - like Lawrence Welk and his orchestra or Robin Hood and his band of merry men. Technically, I don't think the named person must be the leader. - perhaps more like Krisk and so forth.

- A.
