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.

Chalmers M (2012) Cosmology: Out of the darkness. Nature 490:S2-4

A journal article with 2 authors

Moritz C, Agudo R (2013) The future of species under climate change: resilience or decline? Science 341:504–508

A journal article with 3 authors

Dong Z, Hoven CW, Rosenfield A (2005) Lessons from the past. Nature 433:573–574

Reports

This example shows the general structure used for government reports, technical reports, and scientific reports.
