In journal articles, the given names will most commonly be written first,
followed by the family name (or surname). For example below, the surname
is Savage. This journal only has 1 author.
In text citation:
Savage (1999) reported that Water near its critical point can serve as an
environmentally benign solvent, a reactant, and a catalyst in organic chemical reactions
OR
The ion product, or dissociation constant for water as it approaches the critical point, is
about 3 orders of magnitude higher than it is for ambient liquid water (Savage, 1999).

603621.

For example below, the surnames are Xu and Lad. This journal has 2 authors.
In text citation:
Xu and Lad (2008) concludes The yields of HO and WSO generally increased with
reaction time
OR
Their study established that Jack pine powder (with a caloric value of about
20 MJ/kg) was effectively upgraded into liquid organic products (Xu & Lad, 2008).

liquefaction of woody biomass in sub/near-critical water. Energy & Fuels. 22, 635642.

In text citation:
The study by Take et al. (2006) concludes The steam explosion at a steam pressure of
4.51MPa and a steaming time of 5 min was the optimal pretreatment method
OR
Their study established that the production of methane gas from wood chips was
significantly enhanced by the pretreatment methods (Take et al., 2006).
