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.

Blog post

Andrew, E., 2015. Shark-Counting Divers Off Costa Rica Reveal Limits Of Marine Reserves [WWW Document]. IFLScience. URL https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/shark-counting-divers-costa-rica-reveal-limits-marine-reserves/ (accessed 10.30.18).

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, 1997. Environmental Cleanup Costs: NASA Is Making Progress in Identifying Contamination, but More Effort Is Needed (No. NSIAD-97-98). U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC.

Theses and dissertations

Theses including Ph.D. dissertations, Master's theses or Bachelor theses follow the basic format outlined below.

Doctoral dissertation

Stephens, B.S., 2017. Understanding CXC Chemokine Receptor 4 Activation by CXC Chemokine Ligand 12 (Doctoral dissertation). University of California San Diego, La Jolla, CA.

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

Hodgman, J., 2017. Bonus Advice From Judge John Hodgman. New York Times MM24.

In-text citations

This sentence cites one reference (Ricklefs, 2004).
This sentence cites two references (Ouellette and Selsted, 2012; Ricklefs, 2004).

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

Two authors: (Ouellette and Selsted, 2012)
Three or more authors: (Kukura et al., 2005)
