1-Indication of individual authorship, within parentheses, must be in upper and lower case letters.
Ex.:
(Silva, 2021, p. 35)
(Santos; Machado; Almeida, 2022)
2-Indication of legal authorship, within parentheses, must be made using the acronym or full name, in upper and lower case letters. It is recommended that acronyms be written in capital letters or in the most frequently adopted form.
Ex.:

(USFCar, 2023)
(United Nations, 2020, p. 15)
3-The indication of governmental authorship, within parentheses, must be made by the jurisdiction or name of the superior body, in upper and lower case letters.
Examples:

(Central Bank of Brazil, 2023)
4-Indication of authorship of a citation with four or more authors can be reduced in the text with the expression et al. Even if the reference lists all authors. Consequently, the citation of references with three authors must include all authors.
-------------- translated excerpt from the standard--------------------------------------
6.2 For citations from sources with four or more authors, the first author may be cited followed by the expression et al., although the reference contains all authors. Whatever resource is used, it must be uniform in all citations in the document.

Examples:
(Albuquerque et al., 2021)
or
(Albuquerque; Medeiro; Santos; Dias, 2021)
5-The period must be used to end the sentence and not the quote.
6-More assertive explanation about CITATION QUOTE:
