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 2 authors

Choi W, Peifer M (2011) Cell biology. Arranging a cellular checkerboard. Science 333:1099–1100

A journal article with 3 authors

McLeod P, Reed N, Dienes Z (2003) Psychophysics: how fielders arrive in time to catch the ball. Nature 426:244–245

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".

Doctoral dissertation

Kim CS (2017) Electronic Transport of Thin Crystals in Ruthenium Chloride. Doctoral dissertation, California State University, Long Beach

News paper articles
