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.

Schulz M (2012) Materials science. Speeding up artificial muscles. Science 338:893–894

A journal article with 2 authors

MacLean EL, Hare B (2015) Evolution. Dogs hijack the human bonding pathway. Science 348:280–281

A journal article with 3 authors

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 (1998) Federal Research: Information on the Advanced Technology Program’s 1997 Award Selection. 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

Alexandre KM (2009) Identifying mechanisms regulating Wnt signaling during postembryonic development. Doctoral dissertation, University of North Carolina
