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.

1. Naccache L. Psychology. Is she conscious? Science. 2006;313:1395–6.
A journal article with 2 authors
1. Klironomos JN, Hart MM. Food-web dynamics. Animal nitrogen swap for plant carbon. Nature. 2001;410:651–2.
A journal article with 3 authors
1. Lavine MS, Voss D, Coontz R. A robotic future. Introduction to special issue. Science. 2007;318:1083.
A journal article with 7 or more authors
