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.

1. Bulinski JC. Cell biology. Actin discrimination. Science. 2006;313:180–1.

A journal article with 2 authors

1. Kaspi Y, Schneider T. Winter cold of eastern continental boundaries induced by warm ocean waters. Nature. 2011;471:621–4.

A journal article with 3 authors
