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
Macilwain, C. 2000. “Congress Wakes up to Climate Change.” Nature 405 (6785): 385.
A journal article with 2 authors
Guiver, Michael D., and Young Moo Lee. 2013. “Materials Science. Polymer Rigidity Improves Microporous Membranes.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 339 (6117): 284–285.
A journal article with 3 authors
Hsiang, Solomon M., Marshall Burke, and Edward Miguel. 2013. “Quantifying the Influence of Climate on Human Conflict.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 341 (6151): 1235367.

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.
