Yeah I imagine they could have some sort of click to expand functionality

~~Literally even a spot bumped out on the end where they list everyone, at the very end of the paper, would be infinitely better than "et Al"~~

That's what bibliography is. It's already like that, or am I missing something?

It sounds like you're talking about the references, which already list all authors

Then what's the issue? Sounds to me like papers already have comprehensive credits.

Is the issue that it's displayed in two places, so people don't bother to check out the second?
