Using reference management software

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.

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.

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

Government Accountability Office. 1982. Ocean Mining Technology Transfer (Best available copy). U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC.

Doctoral dissertation

Pantallion AS. 2015. A parallel comparison of views regarding student preparation for introductory college chemistry. Doctoral dissertation. California State University, Long Beach, Long Beach, CA

In-text citations

References should be cited in the text by name and year in parentheses:

This sentence cites one reference (Grätzel 2001).
This sentence cites two references (Grätzel 2001; Hazeltine & Ivry 2002).

Here are examples of in-text citations with multiple authors:

Two authors: (Hazeltine & Ivry 2002)
