Using reference management software

Paperpile	The citation style is built in and you can choose it in Settings > Citation Style or Paperpile > Citation Style in Google Docs.
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

Winnacker, E.-L., 2013. A chance to drive forward Europe’s science. Nature 495, 283.

A journal article with 2 authors

Richmond, T.J., Davey, C.A., 2003. The structure of DNA in the nucleosome core. Nature 423, 145–150.

A journal article with 3 authors

Erez, E., Fass, D., Bibi, E., 2009. How intramembrane proteases bury hydrolytic reactions in the membrane. Nature 459, 371–378.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Blog post

Andrew, E., 2015. Cutting Emissions Through Biofuels Will Lead To Water Shortages – Study [WWW Document]. IFLScience. URL https://www.iflscience.com/environment/cutting-emissions-through-biofuels-will-lead-water-shortages-study/ (accessed 10.30.18).

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, 2007. Science and Technology: Information on Federal Programs and Interagency Efforts That Support Small Businesses Engaged in Manufacturing (No. GAO-07-714). U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Tercero, N., 2010. Characterization and application of morpholino monolayers in nucleic acid diagnostics (Doctoral dissertation). Columbia University, New York, NY.

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

Kishkovsky, S., 2001. October 7-13; Kursk Raised. New York Times 42.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Winnacker, 2013).
This sentence cites two references (Richmond and Davey, 2003; Winnacker, 2013).

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

Two authors: (Richmond and Davey, 2003)
