Template:Cite journal

Unchecked

cite journal is for formatting references to articles in magazines and 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 CZ:Footnotes).

• 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 (interwiki 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).

    Specify as 'fee required' if free access no longer available.

    Specify as 'Reprint' if a full original version but not hosted by the original publisher.

• accessdate: Full date when URL was accessed, in ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format, for example "accessdate = 2015-02-15". 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.
• accessdaymonth and accessyear: Month and day when item was accessed, for example "accessmonthday = 10 May", and year when item was accessed, for example "accessyear = 2005". Produces: Retrieved on 10 May 2006.

• laysummary: URL of a lay summary, which could be in a popular science magazine or newspaper.
  • laysource: Name of the source, e.g. The Guardian (UK newspaper) or New Scientist.
  • laydate: Date of publication or, where this is not available, date of retrieval of the lay summary.
• quote: Relevant excerpt from the journal.

An alternate method of adding one or more references to common media (preferably in Layman's terms) from the related journal citation can be specified within a single <ref>...</ref> tag using other citation templates; for example:

Text in the article.<ref>{{cite journal | ... }}<br/>
'''Related news articles:'''
*{{cite news | ... }}
*{{cite web | ... }}</ref>
