Using reference management software

Typically you don't format your citations and bibliography by hand. The easiest way is to use a reference manager:

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

Lal, R., 2004. Soil carbon sequestration impacts on global climate change and food security. Science 304, 1623–1627.

A journal article with 2 authors

Sanchez, A., Golding, I., 2013. Genetic determinants and cellular constraints in noisy gene expression. Science 342, 1188–1193.

A journal article with 3 authors

Wade, J.T., Hall, D.B., Struhl, K., 2004. The transcription factor Ifh1 is a key regulator of yeast ribosomal protein genes. Nature 432, 1054–1058.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Xiang, X., Qiao, L., Xiao, H.Y., Gao, F., Zu, X.T., Li, S., Zhou, W.L., 2014. Effects of surface defects on two-dimensional electron gas at NdAlO3/SrTiO3 interface. Sci. Rep. 4, 5477.

Web sites

Sometimes references to web sites should appear directly in the text rather than in the bibliography. Refer to the Instructions to authors for Cerevisia.

Blog post

Andrews, R., 2017. Scientists Just Replicated The Infamous Milgram Experiment [WWW Document]. IFLScience. URL https://www.iflscience.com/brain/scientists-replicated-infamous-milgram-experiment/ (accessed 10.30.18).

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, 1993. Electronic Signature Prototype System (No. AFMD-93-44R). U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Skutt, S., 2017. Midlife Metamorphosis: Archetypal Imaginal Psychology in Midlife Rite of Passage (Doctoral dissertation). Pacifica Graduate Institute, Carpinteria, CA.

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

Vecsey, G., 2011. Armstrong Can’t Break Away From Doping Charges. New York Times B14.

In-text citations

References should be cited in the text by name and year in parentheses:

This sentence cites one reference (Lal, 2004).
This sentence cites two references (Lal, 2004; Sanchez and Golding, 2013).

Here are examples of in-text citations with multiple authors:

Two authors: (Sanchez and Golding, 2013)
Three or more authors: (Xiang et al., 2014)
