BibTeX	BibTeX syles are usually part of a LaTeX template. Check the instructions to authors if the publisher offers a LaTeX template for this journal.

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

Friedman, Matt. “Journal Club. A Palaeontologist Ponders How Biodiversity Is Spread across the Vertebrate Tree of Life.” Nature 462, no. 7271 (November 19, 2009): 255.

If you can't locate the report number then it might be better to cite the report as a book.
