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

J. Krupic, “Brain crystals,” Science 350(6256), 47 (2015).

A journal article with 2 authors

R. Klitzman and P. S. Appelbaum, “Research ethics. To protect human subjects, review what was done, not proposed,” Science 335(6076), 1576–1577 (2012).

A journal article with 3 authors

C. Franzoni, G. Scellato, and P. Stephan, “Science policy. Changing incentives to publish,” Science 333(6043), 702–703 (2011).

A journal article with 4 or more authors

M. E. K. Niemi et al., “Common genetic variants contribute to risk of rare severe neurodevelopmental disorders,” Nature 562(7726), 268–271 (2018).

Web sites

Sometimes references to web sites should appear directly in the text rather than in the bibliography. Refer to the Instructions to authors for Journal of Electronic Imaging.

Blog post

T. Hale, “First Documented Case Of A Wild Tarantula Versus Snake,” IFLScience, 10 January 2017, <https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/first-documented-case-of-a-wild-tarantula-versus-snake/> (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

Government Accountability Office, “The Management and Operation of the Runaway Youth Program Administered by the Administration for Children, Youth, and Families, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare,” 105325, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC (1978).

Doctoral dissertation

M. Hoffmann, “An exploratory study: Mobile device use for academics,” Doctoral dissertation, Pepperdine University (2015).

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

J. Turkewitz, “A State Inquiry Is Said To Target Job Agencies,” in New York Times, p. A23 (2013).

References should be cited in the text by sequential numbers in superscript:

This sentence cites one reference ¹.
This sentence cites two references ^1,2.
This sentence cites four references ^1–4.
