Using reference management software

Paperpile	The citation style is built in and you can choose it in Settings > Citation Style or Paperpile > Citation Style in Google Docs.
EndNote	Find the style here: output styles overview
Mendeley, Zotero, Papers, and others	The style is either built in or you can download a CSL file that is supported by most references management programs.
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

Obara, K. (2002). Nonvolcanic deep tremor associated with subduction in southwest Japan. Science (New York, N.Y.), 296(5573), 1679–1681.

A journal article with 2 authors

Danielson, J. Å. H., & Frommer, W. B. (2013). Plant science. Jack of all trades, master of flowering. Science (New York, N.Y.), 339(6120), 659–660.

Blog post

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

Government Accountability Office. (1973). Schools Closed Since l969 as a Result of Actions To Promote Racial Balance (B-164031(1)). U.S. Government Printing Office.

Doctoral dissertation

Smith, C. A. (2014). Teacher and Student Perceptions of Bullying at Leclaire School [Doctoral dissertation]. Southern Illinois University.

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

Pilon, M. (2012, June 18). I.O.C. Opens Inquiry Into Resale Of Tickets. New York Times, D7.

Here are examples of in-text citations with multiple authors:
