BibTeXBibTeX syles are usually part of a LaTeX template. Check the instructions to authors if the publisher offers a LaTeX template for this journal.

Journal articles

Those examples are references to articles in scholarly journals and how they are supposed to appear in your bibliography.

Not all journals organize their published articles in volumes and issues, so these fields are optional. Some electronic journals do not provide a page range, but instead list an article identifier. In a case like this it's safe to use the article identifier instead of the page range.

A journal article with 1 author
Glabe, Charles. “Biomedicine. Avoiding collateral damage in Alzheimer’s disease treatment.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 314.5799 (2006): 602–603.
A journal article with 2 authors
Koh, Lian Pin, and David S. Wilcove. “Cashing in palm oil for conservation.” Nature 448.7157 (2007): 993–994.
A journal article with 3 authors
Sakamaki, Tatsuya, Akio Suzuki, and Eiji Ohtani. “Stability of hydrous melt at the base of the Earth’s upper mantle.” Nature 439.7073 (2006): 192–194.
A journal article with 4 or more authors
Kyle, Barry D. et al. “The large conductance, calcium-activated K+ (BK) channel is regulated by cysteine string protein.” Scientific reports 3 (2013): 2447.

Web sites

Reports

This example shows the general structure used for government reports, technical reports, and scientific reports. If you can't locate the report number then it might be better to cite the report as a book. For reports it is usually not individual people that are credited as authors, but a governmental department or agency like "U. S. Food and Drug Administration" or "National Cancer Institute".

Government report
Government Accountability Office. Diffusing Innovations: Implementing the Technology Transfer Act of 1986. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, May 29, 1991.

Theses and dissertations

Theses including Ph.D. dissertations, Master's theses or Bachelor theses follow the basic format outlined below.

Doctoral dissertation
Kingston, Sarah Elizabeth. “Genome-wide analysis of divergence and introgression in towhee hybrid zones.” Doctoral dissertation, College Park, MD: University of Maryland, College Park, 2012.

News paper articles

Unlike scholarly journals, news papers do not usually have a volume and issue number. Instead, the full date and page number is required for a correct reference.

New York Times article
Shpigel, Ben. “In One Brief Moment, Rangers Finally Win Playoff Game at Home.” New York Times, 19 Apr. 2017: B8.
