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
Hartnoll, S. (2008). Physics. Stringing together a solid state. Science (New York, N.Y.), 322(5908), 1639–1640.
A journal article with 2 authors
Lorenz, M. C., & Fink, G. R. (2001). The glyoxylate cycle is required for fungal virulence. Nature, 412(6842), 83–86.

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. (1996). Customs Service Modernization: Strategic Information Management Must Be Improved for National Automation Program to Succeed (No. AIMD-96-57). Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation
Belknap, B. M. (2012). Fostering Resilience in Beginning Special Education Teachers (Doctoral dissertation). George Washington University, Washington, DC.

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
Poniewozik, J. (2017, September 25). A Tabloid Murder Tale of Little Suspense. New York Times, p. C6.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Hartnoll 2008).
This sentence cites two references (Hartnoll 2008; Lorenz and Fink 2001).

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

  • Two authors: (Lorenz and Fink 2001)
  • Three or more authors: (Cuchet-Lourenço et al. 2018)
