Paperpile	The citation style is built in and you can choose it in Settings > Citation Style or Paperpile > Citation Style in Google Docs.
EndNote	Download the output style file
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.

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.

McGrew, William C. 2010. “Evolution. Chimpanzee Technology.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 328 (5978): 579–580.

A journal article with 2 authors

Roska, B., and F. Werblin. 2001. “Vertical Interactions across Ten Parallel, Stacked Representations in the Mammalian Retina.” Nature 410 (6828): 583–587.

New York Times article
