Here is the right answer to the crossword clue Abbr. in a list of references featured in the USA Today puzzle. The correct answer to this clue is ETAL.

The abbreviation "ETAL," derived from the Latin term "et alii" (meaning "and others"), is commonly used in lists of references, bibliographies, or academic citations to indicate that additional authors are involved beyond those explicitly named.

When a work has multiple contributors, listing only the primary authors followed by "et al." signifies that there are other significant contributors whose names are not individually listed. This practice helps to simplify citations and avoid an excessively long list of names, making references more concise and manageable. In scholarly writing, using "et al." acknowledges the collective effort of the research team while focusing on the key authors.
