If you are using Biblatex, then the mincitenames=3 option gives you 
what you want.


See 
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/69028/set-limit-to-one-author-when-using-et-al-in-biblatex. 



Minimal example attached.

Btw. it is always helpful if you can include a minimal example, so 
one does not need to guess what your setup is when answering.


Daniel


Thanks, Daniel

I have asked in a separate mail for a biblatex template for a book. I 
am a bit lost with the requirements. Do you happen to have one or a 
link to the Internet?


Wolfgang




I am a bit lost with what you are after. What do you mean by "a 
biblatex template"?


Daniel

A template (>file>template) which I can use for starting a book with 
biblatex settings.

You just set the Style format to biblatex in Document > Settings > 
Bibliography. Works with any class as far as I know.


I don't know what citation/bibliography style you were using before. But 
chances are that you can already choose it from the drop down menus in 
that dialog or find a LaTeX package that does the job.
