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
Goldston, D., 2007. Climate of opportunity. Nature 445, 248.
A journal article with 2 authors
Cai, W.-J., Dai, M., 2004. Comment on “Enhanced open ocean storage of CO2 from shelf sea pumping.” Science 306, 1477; author reply 1477.
A journal article with 3 authors
Terry, L.J., Shows, E.B., Wente, S.R., 2007. Crossing the nuclear envelope: hierarchical regulation of nucleocytoplasmic transport. Science 318, 1412–1416.
A journal article with 4 or more authors
Foster, K.L., Plastridge, R.A., Bottenheim, J.W., Shepson, P.B., Finlayson-Pitts, B.J., Spicer, C.W., 2001. The role of Br2 and BrCl in surface ozone destruction at polar sunrise. Science 291, 471–474.

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
Carpineti, A., 2017. New Planetary Model Suggests More Gas Giant Planets Are Yet To Be Found [WWW Document]. IFLScience. URL https://www.iflscience.com/space/new-planetary-model-suggests-more-gas-giant-planets-are-yet-to-be-found/ (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, 1973. Program Administration at the Atterbury Job Corps Center in Indiana (No. B-130515). U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC.

New York Times article

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

This sentence cites one reference (Goldston, 2007).
