Template:Cite journal/doc: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 23:46, 20 February 2007

Template:Template doc page viewed directly cite journal is for formatting references to articles in academic journals in a consistent and legible manner. It can be used at the end of the article, directly in the References section. It can also be placed within <ref> tags for in-line citations (see Wikipedia:Footnotes).

Usage

Copyable version:

{{cite journal |quotes= |last= |first= |authorlink= |coauthors= |year= |month= |title= |journal= |volume= |issue= |pages= |id= |url= |accessdate= }}

using first, last

using author

{{cite journal
 | quotes = 
 | last = 
 | first = 
 | authorlink = 
 | coauthors = 
 | date = 
 | year = 
 | month = 
 | title = 
 | journal = 
 | volume = 
 | issue = 
 | pages = 
 | issn = 
 | pmid = 
 | doi = 
 | id = 
 | url =

 }}

{{cite journal
 | quotes = 
 | author = 
 | date = 
 | year = 
 | month = 
 | title = 
 | journal = 
 | volume = 
 | issue = 
 | pages = 
 | doi = 
 | id = 
 | url = 
 | language = 
 | format = 
 | accessdate = 
 }}

quotes: Specify "quotes=no" to disable the quotes around the title. If "quotes" is not defined or set to the empty string, the template emits quotes around the title (default).
author: Author
- last works with first to produce last, first
- authorlink works either with author or with last & first to link to the appropriate article (internal link)
- coauthors: allows additional authors
date: January 1, 2006. Full date of publication.
- year: 2006. Year of publication (ignored if the date field is used).
  - month: January. Month of publication (ignored if the date field is used, or if the year field is not used).
title: Title of article. This is the only required parameter. All other parameters are optional.
journal: Name of the journal.
volume: Volume number of the journal in which the article is found
issue: Issue number of the journal in which the article is found
pages: 45–47: first page, and optional last page.
issn: The publication's International Standard Serial Number such as 1111-2220
pmid: The document's PubMed Unique Identifier, such as 15128012
doi: A digital object identifier for the document, such as 10.1016/j.coi.2004.08.001
- Doilabel: If the doi contains some characters that must be escaped, use "doilabel" for the unescaped version. See {{doi}}: "id" is equivalent to "doi" and "label" is "doilabel"
id: A unique identifier, used if none of the above are applicable. In this case, you need to specify the kind of identifier you are using, preferably with a template like {{US patent}}. (Use one of the more specialized parameters if possible; they are linked automatically. In other words, don't use id = PMID 15128012 anymore. Use pmid = 15128012.)
url: URL of a copy of the article, if available online.
- format: Format, i.e. PDF. Don't specify for HTML (implied as default).

accessdate: Full date when URL was accessed, in ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format, , for example "accessdate = 2025-05-6". Must not be wikilinked

For producing a non-wikilinked date of retrieval:

accessmonthday and accessyear: Month and day when item was accessed, for example "accessmonthday = May 10", and year when item was accessed, for example "accessyear = 2005". Produces: Retrieved on May 10, 2006.
