it's the same list of authors, written in different formats

the first one is SURNAME, NAME separated by "and"

the second one is NAME SURNAME separated by commas

The second one is easier to read by humans, but the first one makes it clearer what is the surname (which would be ambiguous otherwise, when there are composite names). But then again, the first format breaks when someone has "and" in their name, which is not unheard of.
