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

Peik, E., 2005. Physics. Logical spectroscopy. Science 309, 710–711.

A journal article with 2 authors

Kawai, N., Matsuzawa, T., 2000. Numerical memory span in a chimpanzee. Nature 403, 39–40.

This example shows the general structure used for government reports, technical reports, and scientific reports.
