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

Pochan DJ (2012) Materials science. Approaching asymmetry and versatility in polymer assembly. Science (New York, N.Y.) 337: 530–531.

A journal article with 2 authors

Ralph TC, Boyd RW (2007) PHYSICS. Better computing with photons. Science (New York, N.Y.) 318: 1251–1252.

A journal article with 3 authors

Web sites

Sometimes references to web sites should appear directly in the text rather than in the bibliography. Refer to the Instructions to authors for Journal of Orthoptera Research.

Blog post

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 (1992) Medical ADP Systems: Composite Health Care System Is Not Ready to Be Deployed. U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Singh KK (2015) An 8-PSK receiver using LNA & SRO: Design and mathematical analysis. Doctoral dissertation. California State University, Long Beach

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

Hodara S (2014) Two Exhibitions, From Cover to Cover. New York Times: CT10.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Pochan 2012).
This sentence cites two references (Ralph and Boyd 2007, Pochan 2012).

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

Two authors: (Ralph and Boyd 2007)
Three or more authors: (Suchyna et al. 2004)
