Guidelines:Citations

To add a reference, please make use of [[CiteRef::Barseghyan-2015]] style annotations. Here is an example:

There is good reason to believe that a general TSC is not only theoretically possible, but also practically achievable. Indeed, no serious scientist would ever take initial failures in finding regularities as a reason for despair. Physicists, for instance, do not stop searching for general laws when their initial attempts fail to produce the desired results. Likewise, no level of complexity or apparent disunity of historical episodes can justify the particularist abolition of the idea of a general TSC.1

To make this work, Barseghyan-2015 should be properly defined in the bibliography using {{#scite}} template. Here is an example:

{{#scite:Barseghyan-2015
 |type=book
 |author=Barseghyan, Hakob
 |title=The Laws of Scientific Change
 |year=2015
 |publisher=Springer
 |pages=275
}}

Such {{#scite}} entries must be created for all cited sources. While technically these bibliographic entries can be inserted anywhere on the page, we recommend placing them at the end of the article for the sake of consistency.

Importantly, these citation resources can be added to any wiki page. Once defined, the same citation source can be used throughout the encyclopedia regardless of where it was defined. Thus, there is no need to redefine the same source on different pages. Thus, the source above can be referenced at any page by adding a simple [[CiteRef::Barseghyan-2015]].
