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.

D. Goldston, “Financial planning,” Nature 454(7205), 680 (2008).

A journal article with 2 authors

N. Guessoum and A. Osama, “Institutions: Revive universities of the Muslim world,” Nature 526(7575), 634–636 (2015).

A journal article with 3 authors

J. R. Lyons, R. S. Lewis, and R. N. Clayton, “Comment on ‘Experimental test of self-shielding in vacuum ultraviolet photodissociation of CO,’” Science 324(5934), 1516;author reply 1516 (2009).

A journal article with 4 or more authors

S.-J. Li et al., “Microbial communities evolve faster in extreme environments,” Sci. Rep. 4, 6205 (2014).

Blog post

K. Evans, “Depicting Film Baddies With Skin Conditions Is Damaging To Real Sufferers, Say Dermatologists,” IFLScience, 6 April 2017, <https://www.iflscience.com/editors-blog/depicting-film-baddies-with-skin-conditions-is-damaging-to-real-sufferers-say-dermatologists/> (accessed 30 October 2018).

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
