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

Smith, C. (2004). Drug discovery in reverse. Nature, 428(6979), 227.

A journal article with 2 authors

Corten, G. P., & Veldkamp, H. F. (2001). Aerodynamics. Insects can halve wind-turbine power. Nature, 412(6842), 41–42.

A journal article with 3 authors

Perner, J., Mauer, M. C., & Hildenbrand, M. (2011). Identity: key to children’s understanding of belief. Science (New York, N.Y.), 333(6041), 474–477.

A journal article with 8 or more authors

Rønnow, H. M., Parthasarathy, R., Jensen, J., Aeppli, G., Rosenbaum, T. F., & McMorrow, D. F. (2005). Quantum phase transition of a magnet in a spin bath. Science (New York, N.Y.), 308(5720), 389–392.

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. (1984). [Request for Clarification and Expansion of GAO Views on the Chadha Decision] (B-196854.3). U.S. Government Printing Office.

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

Williams, J. (2017, June 2). Robert Caro Nears End Of Research on L.B.J. New York Times, C3.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Smith, 2004).
This sentence cites two references (Corten & Veldkamp, 2001; Smith, 2004).

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

Two authors: (Corten & Veldkamp, 2001)
Three authors: (Perner et al., 2011)
6 or more authors: (Rønnow et al., 2005)
