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 reference managers.
BibTeX	BibTeX styles 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

Engelman, A., ‘AIDS/HIV. A Reversal of Fortune in HIV-1 Integration’, Science (New York, N.Y.), 316, 5833 (2007), 1855–7.

A journal article with 2 authors

Li, C., and Thompson, C.B., ‘Cancer. DNA Damage, Deamidation, and Death’, Science (New York, N.Y.), 298, 5597 (2002), 1346–7.

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.
