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

1. Smaglik P. Seeking out the élite. Nature. 2003;423:97.

A journal article with 2 authors

1. Meziane-Cherif D, Courvalin P. Antibiotic resistance: to the rescue of old drugs. Nature. 2014;510:477–8.

A journal article with 3 authors

1. Soukoulis CM, Linden S, Wegener M. Physics. Negative refractive index at optical wavelengths. Science. 2007;315:47–9.

A journal article with 7 or more authors

1. Liu FG, Miyamoto MM, Freire NP, Ong PQ, Tennant MR, Young TS, et al. Molecular and morphological supertrees for eutherian (placental) mammals. Science. 2001;291:1786–9.

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

1. Government Accountability Office. NASA’s Resource Data Base and Techniques for Supporting, Planning, and Controlling Programs Need Improvement. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office; 1977 May. Report No.: PSAD-77-78.
