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.

Abbott, A. Neuroscience: Genomics on the Brain. Nature 2003, 426, 757.

A journal article with 2 authors

Medina-Elizalde, M.; Rohling, E.J. Collapse of Classic Maya Civilization Related to Modest Reduction in Precipitation. Science 2012, 335, 956–959.

A journal article with 3 authors
