This question confuses me.  You're trying to specify which title/author between two journals without using the title or author's names repetitively.?  Okay, usually, when writing about multiple authors, you address the full name and title at the beginning of the essay.  You won't need to repeat it constantly, unless citing your sources.  Would you mind  telling me the titles and authors so I can come up with a solution?

so while im writing and i might say something regarding source A do i have to write out all of the authors' name or the title every time? idk if i can get away with calling them source A and B, although that would be easier.
