<author-ref-text> (Author Reference - Text) Description .email comment.
Changed in version 1.6.
Description
Name of one of the authors of the referenced work, or "et al" to represent multiple un-named authors.
Despite this element providing more freedom than the alternative <author-ref> element, there should still be only one instance of each name component, or one instance of the <etal> element.
