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. Clawson GA. Cancer. Fusion for moving. Science. 2013;342:699–700.

A journal article with 2 authors

1. Smetacek V, Zingone A. Green and golden seaweed tides on the rise. Nature. 2013;504:84–8.

A journal article with 3 authors

1. Wolfe CJ, Okubo PG, Shearer PM. Mantle fault zone beneath Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii. Science. 2003;300:478–80.

A journal article with 7 or more authors

1. González-José R, Escapa I, Neves WA, Cúneo R, Pucciarelli HM. Cladistic analysis of continuous modularized traits provides phylogenetic signals in Homo evolution. Nature. 2008;453:775–8.

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".
