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

Gershon, D., 2003. Proteomics technologies: probing the proteome. Nature 424, 581–587.

A journal article with 2 authors

Braakman, I., Otsu, M., 2008. Biochemistry. Cargo load reduction. Science 321, 499–500.

A journal article with 3 authors

Zhang, Z., Wang, W., Qiu, B., 2014. Oceanic mass transport by mesoscale eddies. Science 345, 322–324.

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, 2014. Advanced Imaging Technology: TSA Needs Additional Information before Procuring Next-Generation Systems (No. GAO-14-357). U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC.

Theses and dissertations

Theses including Ph.D. dissertations, Master's theses or Bachelor theses follow the basic format outlined below.

Doctoral dissertation

Johnson, A.S., 2017. Fatigue Behavior and Microstructure of Direct Laser Deposited Inconel 718 Alloy (Doctoral dissertation). Mississippi State University, Mississippi State, MS.

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

Gaitskill, M., 2015. An Unknowable Truth. New York Times M2174.

In-text citations

References should be cited in the text by name and year in parentheses:

This sentence cites one reference (Gershon, 2003).
This sentence cites two references (Braakman and Otsu, 2008; Gershon, 2003).

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

Two authors: (Braakman and Otsu, 2008)
Three or more authors: (Park et al., 2005)
