It's in any textbook on electromagnetism, and you don't need to rely on peer-review, if you calculate it yourself.
The most simple case is a very long coaxial cable. with a battery on one end and a resistor (or a short circuit) on the other. Then (in non-relativistic approximation) you can make the ansatz that ##\vec{j}=j \vec{e}_3## (where the cable is along ##\vec{e}_3##) with ##j=\text{const}## along the wires and ##0## outside.
Then you can solve the static Maxwell equations together with the appropriate boundary conditions and get the surface charges along the surfaces as well as the electric and magnetic fields everywhere.
