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

Savage, N. Materials Science: Super Carbon. Nature 2012, 483, S30-1.

A journal article with 2 authors

Lane, J.; Bertuzzi, S. Research Funding. Measuring the Results of Science Investments. Science 2011, 331, 678–680.

A journal article with 3 authors

Kiss, I.Z.; Zhai, Y.; Hudson, J.L. Emerging Coherence in a Population of Chemical Oscillators. Science 2002, 296, 1676–1678.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Lay, A.J.; Jiang, X.M.; Kisker, O.; Flynn, E.; Underwood, A.; Condron, R.; Hogg, P.J. Phosphoglycerate Kinase Acts in Tumour Angiogenesis as a Disulphide Reductase. Nature 2000, 408, 869–873.

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".
