If the elements are independent sentences, as in your example, then you should use full stops. An example:

In the present article we prove that:
* our model is correct.
* The model by other authors is not correct. Such model also shows some other issues, discussed below.
* Collecting data is a difficult and laborious task.

In some situations such as having slightly related sentences, you may use semicolons. An example:

In the present article we prove that:
* our model is correct;
* the model outperforms other models;
* small variations to the model do not affect performance.
