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

Ferlaino, F. 2014. “Molecular physics: Complexity trapped by simplicity.” Nature, 512 (7514): 261–262.

A journal article with 2 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

Government Accountability Office. 1988. Railroad Safety: Reporting Time Frames and Results of Post-Accident Drug Tests. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office.

Theses and dissertations

Theses including Ph.D. dissertations, Master's theses or Bachelor theses follow the basic format outlined below.

Doctoral dissertation

Payne, L. G. 2015. “The experience of caring for women with drug or alcohol problems in the general hospital.” Doctoral dissertation, Florida Atlantic University.

News paper articles

Unlike scholarly journals, news papers do not usually have a volume and issue number. Instead, the full date and page number is required for a correct reference.

New York Times article

Billard, M. 2010. “Nothing Up His Sleeve, but on It.” New York Times, May 13, 2010.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Ferlaino 2014).
This sentence cites two references (Ferlaino 2014; Yuan and Marmorstein 2013).

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

Two authors: (Yuan and Marmorstein 2013)
Three or more authors: (Storici et al. 2007)
