Revision as of 22:24, 1 September 2016

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, the resource - in this case Barseghyan (2015) - should be previously added to the bibliographic records of this encyclopedia. Once a bibliographic record is created, it can then be cited from any page of the encyclopedia.

Articles in Collections

To add an article that was published in a collection, the collection itself should first be added to the system. There are two basic types of collections:

  • collections of articles by different authors;
  • collections of articles by the same author.

If an article is in a collection of articles by different authors, the collection's citation key should include (Ed.) if it has one editor, or (Eds.) if it has more than one editor. E.g.:

Zalta (Ed.) (2016)2

Lakatos and Musgrave (Eds.) (1970)3

However, if an article is in a collection of papers by the same author, we don't add (Ed.) and register that collection as a book, thus:

Lakatos (1970)4

Online Resources

To indicate that a resource is available online, simply add its URL in the respective field. No additional actions are required.

Page Numbers

To indicate a specific page of the citation, please add |p. <pagenumber> to the [[CiteRef...]] annotation. For example, [[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p. xii]] will produce this result:1p. xii.

For references to multiple pages, please use |pp. instead of |p., e.g. [[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|pp. 1-3]]:1pp. 1-3

Note Note: There should be no space between | and p., but there must be a space before the page number. Thus, [[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)| p.xii]] is incorrect, while [[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p. xii]] is correct.

Multiple Authors

If a resource has more than one author, please make sure that each author is added to the system individually and all authors are indicated when defining the resource. If a resource has up to three authors, all of them will be openly listed. E.g.:

Nola and Sankey (Eds.) (2015)5

If a resource has more than three authors, please use et al. in the citation key of the resource.

Multiple Resources

If two or more resources need to be cited at the same time, please insert as many [[CiteRef...]] references as necessary, without separating them by spaces or commas.67

Some text citing 2 resources.[[CiteRef::Kuhn (1970a)]][[CiteRef::Bird (2011)]]

References Section

The encyclopedia will automatically add References section to the bottom of each page. No additional action is required.

Common Errors

Multiple Definitions

Each resource must be defined precisely once throughout the whole encyclopedia. Defining the same resource more than once can lead to unwanted consequences. To avoid that, please make sure that the resource you are about to define doesn't exist.

wRong cAse

Note Note: The [[CiteRef...]] tag is Case Sensitive. Thus, [[Citeref...]] tag won't work. Similarly, [[CiteRef::barseghyan (2015)]] won't work.

Beware of Spaces

Note Note: There is no space after ::. Thus, [[CiteRef:: Bird (2011)]] is invalid. The valid markup is [[CiteRef::Bird (2011)]].
