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
Collins, S.L., 2009. Ecology. Biodiversity under global change. Science 326, 1353–1354.
A journal article with 2 authors
Cooper, B.G., Goller, F., 2004. Multimodal signals: enhancement and constraint of song motor patterns by visual display. Science 303, 544–546.
A journal article with 3 authors

If you can't locate the report number then it might be better to cite the report as a book.
