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

Campbell, C. T. (2001). Surface science. Catalysts under pressure. Science (New York, N.Y.), 294(5546), 1471–1472.

A journal article with 2 authors

Turchyn, A. V., & Schrag, D. P. (2004). Oxygen isotope constraints on the sulfur cycle over the past 10 million years. Science (New York, N.Y.), 303(5666), 2004–2007.

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".

Doctoral dissertation

News paper articles

Unlike scholarly journals, news papers do not usually have a volume and issue number. Instead, the full date and page number is required for a correct reference.

New York Times article

Shear, M. D., Thrush, G., & Haberman, M. (2017, August 17). Trump Response To Violent Rally Shocks His Allies. New York Times, A1.
