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

Van Swygenhoven, H., 2002. Polycrystalline materials. Grain boundaries and dislocations. Science 296, 66–67.

A journal article with 2 authors

Thompson, W.G., Goldstein, S.L., 2005. Open-system coral ages reveal persistent suborbital sea-level cycles. Science 308, 401–404.

A journal article with 3 authors

Grutzendler, J., Kasthuri, N., Gan, W.-B., 2002. Long-term dendritic spine stability in the adult cortex. Nature 420, 812–816.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Chen, M., Briscoe, W.H., Armes, S.P., Klein, J., 2009. Lubrication at physiological pressures by polyzwitterionic brushes. Science 323, 1698–1701.

Blog post

Carpineti, A., 2016. New Observation Of Photosynthesis Reveals How Much We Don’t Know [WWW Document]. IFLScience. URL https://www.iflscience.com/physics/new-observation-of-photosynthesis-reveals-how-much-we-don-t-know/ (accessed 10.30.18).

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, 2003. Joint Strike Fighter Acquisition: Cooperative Program Needs Greater Oversight to Ensure Goals Are Met (No. GAO-03-775). U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Van Swygenhoven, 2002).
This sentence cites two references (Thompson and Goldstein, 2005; Van Swygenhoven, 2002).

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

Two authors: (Thompson and Goldstein, 2005)
