Using reference management software

Paperpile	The citation style is built in and you can choose it in Settings > Citation Style or Paperpile > Citation Style in Google Docs.
EndNote	Find the style here: output styles overview
Mendeley, Zotero, Papers, and others	The style is either built in or you can download a CSL file that is supported by most references management programs.
BibTeX	BibTeX 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

Monroe, C. “Quantum information processing with atoms and photons.” Nature 416.6877 (2002): 238–246.

A journal article with 2 authors

Punnoose, Alexander, and Alexander M. Finkel’stein. “Metal-insulator transition in disordered two-dimensional electron systems.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 310.5746 (2005): 289–291.

A journal article with 3 authors

Pevzner, Pavel A., Sangtae Kim, and Julio Ng. “Comment on ‘Protein sequences from mastodon and Tyrannosaurus rex revealed by mass spectrometry.’” Science (New York, N.Y.) 321.5892 (2008): 1040; author reply 1040.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Gupta, Rajeev et al. “NOV (CCN3) functions as a regulator of human hematopoietic stem or progenitor cells.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 316.5824 (2007): 590–593.

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

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.
