Here's an example of American Chemical Society style for a basic reference list format for a journal article:

Caruso, R. A.; Susha, A.; Caruso, F. Multilayered Titania, Silica, and Laponite Nanoparticle Coatings on Polystyrene Colloidal
     Templates and Resulting Inorganic Hollow Spheres. Chem. Mater. 2001, 13, 400–409.
