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

John, P.: Applied physics. Toward diamond lasers, Science, 292, 1847–1848, 2001.

A journal article with 2 authors

Flint, J. and Munafò, M.: Schizophrenia: genesis of a complex disease, Nature, 511, 412–413, 2014.

A journal article with 3 authors

Reiserer, A., Ritter, S., and Rempe, G.: Nondestructive detection of an optical photon, Science, 342, 1349–1351, 2013.
