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

1. Powell K. Counting the cost. Nature. 2005;434:1048–9.

A journal article with 2 authors

1. Skotheim JM, Mahadevan L. Physical limits and design principles for plant and fungal movements. Science. 2005;308:1308–10.

A journal article with 3 authors

1. Pfingsten JS, Costantino DA, Kieft JS. Structural basis for ribosome recruitment and manipulation by a viral IRES RNA. Science. 2006;314:1450–4.

A journal article with 7 or more authors

1. Launay P, Cheng H, Srivatsan S, Penner R, Fleig A, Kinet J-P. TRPM4 regulates calcium oscillations after T cell activation. Science. 2004;306:1374–7.

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. 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
