What is exact format for citing journal article, APA 6th edition format, with a doi, and 6 authors?

Answer

You will need to list all six authors (sorry, no way out of this!). An example -

White, T., Ivory, A., Off-White, A,. Beige, Y., Sandstone, N., & Sand, L.


Next follow the basics of a journal citation - date, title, journal title, volume, issue, & pages. An example - 

(2014). Australian Shepherd earns PhD from Oxford: Local Border Collies outraged! Journal of Dogs in Higher Education, 50, (3), 2013-2063.


Next you add the doi - doi:10.1050/15xxx7030802462911


Now it is strung together - 

White, T., Ivory, A., Off-White, A,. Beige, Y., Sandstone, N., & Sand, L. (2014). Australian Shepherd earns PhD from

     Oxford: Local Border Collies outraged! Journal of Dogs in Higher Education, 50, (3), 2013-2063.

      doi:10.1050/15xxx7030802462911


You do catch a break when creating your in-text citations. This from the library's APA guide - 

Six Authors: First In-Text Citation   Walsh et al. (2000)
Subsequent In-Text Citations Walsh et al. (2000)
First Parenthetical Citation (Walsh et al., 2000)
Subsequent Parenthetical Citations     (Walsh et al., 2000)
