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
1. Humphries C. Drug development: a complicated path. Nature. 2014;515:S4-5.
A journal article with 2 authors
1. Meldrum FC, Sear RP. Materials science. Now you see them. Science. 2008;322:1802–3.
A journal article with 3 authors
1. Sinclair ARE, Mduma S, Brashares JS. Patterns of predation in a diverse predator-prey system. Nature. 2003;425:288–90.
A journal article with 7 or more authors

If you can't locate the report number then it might be better to cite the report as a book.
