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

Bloch, I. Quantum Gases. Science 2008, 319, 1202–1203.

A journal article with 2 authors

Raymond, P.A.; Bauer, J.E. Riverine Export of Aged Terrestrial Organic Matter to the North Atlantic Ocean. Nature 2001, 409, 497–500.

A journal article with 3 authors

Bidle, K.D.; Manganelli, M.; Azam, F. Regulation of Oceanic Silicon and Carbon Preservation by Temperature Control on Bacteria. Science 2002, 298, 1980–1984.
