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

Martin, E.E. Earth Science: Ocean Circulation and Rapid Climate Change. Nature 2015, 517, 30–31.

A journal article with 2 authors

Kleizen, B.; Braakman, I. Cell Biology. A Sweet Send-Off. Science 2013, 340, 930–931.

A journal article with 3 authors

Chen, Y.; Peng, R.; You, Z. APPLIED ORIGAMI. Origami of Thick Panels. Science 2015, 349, 396–400.

A journal article with 4 or more 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
