I am using the natbib library with citep{} comand and in most cases my citations are reduced to author et. al. However for one citation, there are always all the authors listed. What is the problem?
My environment is set up such:
usepackage{natbib} % bibliography
renewcommand{refname}{Bibliography}
bibliographystyle{agsm}
addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Bibliography}
bibliography{mybibliography.bib}
my .bib file look as follows. The first entry is the one creating problems:
@inproceedings{pinxten2017approaches,
title={Approaches to the Identification of STEM Key Competencies in European University systems},
author={Pinxten, Maarten and De Laet, Tinne and Van Soom, Carolien and Peeters, Christine and Kautz, Christian and Hockicko, Peter and Pacher, Pal and Nordstr{"o}m, Katrina and Hawwash, Kamel and Langie, Greet},
booktitle={Proceedings of the 45th Annual SEFI Conference},
pages={1--8},
year={2017}
}
@inproceedings{pinxten2015fighting,
title={Fighting increasing drop-out rates in the STEM field: The European readySTEMgo Project},
author={Pinxten, Maarten and De Laet, Tinne and Van Soom, Carolien and Langie, Greet},
booktitle={Proceedings of the 43rd Annual SEFI Conference},
pages={1--8},
year={2015}
}
The compiled file prints the citation like:
citep{pinxten2017approaches}
(Pinxten, De Laet, Van Soom, Peeters, Kautz, Hockicko, Pacher,
Nord-str•om, Hawwash & Langie 2017).
citep{pinxten2015fighting}

natbibonly shows the information it gets from your bibliography style. So ultimately it is also your bibliography style who decides what is shown in the author list. In order to diagnose your issue we therefore need to know which style you are using. Additionally we need to see a few example.bibentries that exhibit the undesired behaviour. Please put all this together in a so-called MWE (tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/228/35864) or MWEB (tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/4407/35864).

ok, i will put together a minimal working example. But meanwhile, i dont think it can be my bibliography style. All the remaining citations reduce multiple authors into "author et.al" just fine. There is only one reference that doesnt.

Does that one reference have less authors than the others? In might be a rule that only for more than $x$ authors "et al." is used.

Well, it could be a problem with your.bibentry, but we can only say that with certainty if we see both the bibliography style you are using and example.bibentries. Some styles will for example avoid ambiguous 'et al.' references so that "Smith, Smoth and Smuth" and "Smith, Smoth and Smath" won't both become "Smith et al.". So context is important as well, that means that your MWE need not only include all the things mentioned before, it is crucial that you run it in a new, empty folder before you submit it to make sure everything shows as you expected.
