(Assuming you don't already know this stuff, but maybe it is still useful 
for someone else) It is a short way of citing articles of scientific 
journals. In this case the journal is called "Science Magazine", the 
volume is 261 and the pagenumber, where the article starts, is 189.

Usually you have to subscribe to such journals to download articles, and 
it is very expensive to subscribe to them, so usually it is only done by 
universities or research institutions. If there is a university near you, 
you can try to get articles at the library, as journal subscriptions are 
usually for the university network and (at least in germany) you can get 
a university library card also as a normal person for a very small fee 
(something like 10 € for a year). For finding articles

is not bad, although there are better search pages for which you have to 
pay a subscription fee.
