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

Duster T. Medicine. Race and reification in science. Science 2005; 307: 1050–1051.

A journal article with 2 authors

Bright AT, Winzeler EA. Epidemiology: resistance mapping in malaria. Nature 2013; 498: 446–447.

A journal article with 3 authors

Faucher-Giguère C-A, Lidz A, Hernquist L. Numerical simulations unravel the cosmic web. Science 2008; 319: 52–55.

A journal article with 7 or more authors
