Paperpile	The citation style is built in and you can choose it in Settings > Citation Style or Paperpile > Citation Style in Google Docs.
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.
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

Carpenter, S. (2008). Science careers. Finding industry funding. Science (New York, N.Y.), 319(5869), 1550–1551.

A journal article with 2 authors

Kelemen, P. B., & Hirth, G. (2007). A periodic shear-heating mechanism for intermediate-depth earthquakes in the mantle. Nature, 446(7137), 787–790.

A journal article with 3 authors

A journal article with 8 or more authors

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

News paper articles

New York Times article

Pilon, M. (2012, October 11). Armstrong Finds a Mixed Reception in Triathlon. New York Times, p. B14.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Carpenter 2008).
