To This encyclopedia cites resources in a semantically meaningful way, i.e. each citation refers to a properly defined [[:Category:Bibliographic Record|bibliographic resource]]. Thus, to add a reference, please make use of <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Barseghyan-(2015)]]</nowiki></code> style annotations. Here is an example:

<blockquote>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.[[CiteRef::Barseghyan-(2015)]]</blockquote>

To make this If a citation works, a properly formatted reference will show up in the reference section at the bottom of the page. In order for the citation to work, the bibliographic resource - in this case <code><nowiki>Barseghyan-(2015)</nowiki></code> should - must be properly defined added to the encyclopedia's compilation of bibliographical records. To do this, you must first enter the author or authors of the work in the bibliography using <code><nowiki>{{#scite}}</nowiki></code> templateauthor records. You can do this by visiting the [[:Category:Author|Author record]] page. Here is Instructions for entering an exampleauthor record are available on that page. An author record only needs to be entered once. It can then be used for every bibliographic record created for the works of that author. Next you must create a bibliographic record for the cited work. Do this by visiting the [[:Category: Bibliographic Record|bibliographic record]] page and following the instructions given there and below here. A bibliographic record only needs to be created once. After you have done so, it can then be cited from any page of the encyclopedia.

<syntaxhighlight lang="html4strict">{{#scite:Barseghyan-2015 |type=bookArticles in Collections == |author=BarseghyanTo add an article that was published in a collection, Hakobthe collection itself should first be added to the system. There are two basic types of collections: |title=The Laws * collections of Scientific Change articles by ''different'' [[:Category:Author|year=2015authors]]; |publisher=Springer |pages=275 |isbn=978-3319175959}}</syntaxhighlight>* collections of articles by ''the same'' author.

Such If an article is in a collection of articles by ''different'' authors, the collection's citation key should include <code><nowiki>{{#scite}}(Ed.)</nowiki></code> 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 if it was defined. Thus, there is no need to redefine the same source on different pages. Thushas one editor, the source above can be referenced at any page by adding a simple or <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Barseghyan-2015]](Eds.)</nowiki></code>if it has more than one editor. E.g.[[CiteRef::Laudan-1989]]

Here is a <code><nowiki>{{#scite}}Zalta (Ed.) (2016)</nowiki></code> template for journal articles[[CiteRef::Zalta (Ed.) (2016)]]

For articles in collectionsHowever, please use if a collection of papers is by the following format:[[CiteRef:same author, we don't add <code><nowiki>(Ed.)</nowiki></code> and register that collection as a ''book'', thus:Kuhn-1970a]]

{{#scite:Barseghyan-2015note}} Articles from ''Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy'' (SEP) must be cited as ''collection articles''. Please refer to [[Bird (2011)]] for an example of how SEP articles are to be entered.  |type=book= Online Resources == |author=BarseghyanTo indicate that a resource is available online, Hakobsimply add its URL in the respective field. No additional actions are required.   |title=The Laws = Publication Year ==A resource can have more than one editions. When creating a bibliographic record for a publication, the year of actual publication should be used, rather than the year of first publication. For example, Descartes' ''Treatise on Man'' was originally published in 1664, but if you are using the translation of the ''Treatise'' published by Prometheus Books in 2003, then the citation key should be <code><nowiki>Descartes (2003)</nowiki></code>, not <code><nowiki>Descartes (1664)</nowiki></code>. If needed, you can indicate the date of Scientific Changeoriginal publication in the abstract. |If an author has more than one publication in the same year, then these publications should be differentiated by adding a letter after the yearof the publication, e.g. <code><nowiki>Lakatos (1978a)</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>Lakatos (1978b)</nowiki></code>.[[CiteRef::Lakatos (1978a)]][[CiteRef::Lakatos (1978b)]] == Page Numbers ==Whenever the source you are citing is a book (rather than a book section or paper), you should '''always''' give the relevant page numbers. Whenever you are directly quoting the source, you should '''always''' give the page number, regardless of the nature of the source. To indicate a specific page of the citation, please add <code><nowiki>|p. <pagenumber></nowiki></code> to the <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef...]]</nowiki></code> annotation. For example, <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p. xii]]</nowiki></code> will produce this result:[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p. xii]].  For references to '''multiple pages''', please use <code><nowiki>|pp.</nowiki></code> instead of <code><nowiki>|publisher=Springer p.</nowiki></code>, e.g. <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|pages=275 pp. 1-3]]</nowiki></code>:[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|isbn=978pp. 1-33191759593]] }}{{#scitenote}} There should be '''no space''' between <code><nowiki>|</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>p.</nowiki></code>, but there must be a space ''before'' the page number. Thus, <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Laudan-1989Barseghyan (2015)| p.xii]]</nowiki></code> is incorrect, while <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p. xii]]</nowiki></code> is correct.  |type=journal= Multiple Authors or Editors == |If a resource has more than one author or editor, please make sure that each author/editor is added to the system individually and all names are indicated when defining the resource.  === Up to Three Authors or Editors ===If a resource has up to three authors or editors, all of them will be openly listed. E.g.: <code><nowiki>Nola and Sankey (Eds.) (2000)</nowiki></code>[[CiteRef::Nola and Sankey (Eds.) (2000)]]<code><nowiki>Donovan, Laudan, and Laudan (Eds.) (1988)</nowiki></code>[[CiteRef::Donovan, Laudan, Larryand Laudan (Eds.) (1988)]] |titleNote, that the names are separated with commas, as well as an <code><nowiki>and</nowiki></code>. === More than Three Authors or Editors ===If It Aina resource has more than three authors/editors, please use <code><nowiki>et al.</nowiki></code> in the citation key of the resource. E.g.: <code><nowiki>Olby et al. (Eds.) (1990)</nowiki></code>[[CiteRef::Olby et al. (Eds.) (1990)]] However, ''all't Broke Don't Fix It |journal=The British Journal for the Philosophy authors/editors should still be listed as such when entering the bibliographic record of Sciencethe resource. |volume== Multiple Resources =40 |year=1989 |pages=369-375If two or more resources need to be cited at the same time, please insert as many <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef...]]</nowiki></code> references as necessary, ''without'' separating them by spaces or commas.}}{{#sciteFor instance, the following code <code><nowiki>Some text citing 2 resources.[[CiteRef::Kuhn (1970a)]][[CiteRef::Bird (2011)]]</nowiki></code> produces the following result: Some text citing 2 resources.[[CiteRef::Kuhn-(1970a)]][[CiteRef::Bird (2011)]] == References Section == |typeThe encyclopedia will automatically add '''References''' section to the bottom of each page. No additional action is required.  == Common Errors ==collection |author=Kuhn== Missing Page Numbers ===When a bibliographic resource is cited for a specific idea, Thomaspage numbers are normally required. Simply citing the whole book isn't really helpful; the respective page numbers should be included wherever reasonable.   |title=Reflections on My Critics== Wrong Year === |It is tempting to cite the yearof first edition of a resource even when a later edition is used. This is unacceptable, since different editions should have different bibliographic records and should not be confused. To avoid confusion, the bibliographic data of the edition that was actually used is to be entered.  === Missing Letter ===1970 |collectioneditorsWhen entering a resource, it is important to check if the author had other publications in the same year. If so, a letter should be added after the year of the resource to differentiate the publications within the same year, e.g. e.g. <code><nowiki>Feyerabend (1975a)</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>Feyerabend (1975b)</nowiki></code>. If the letters are missing, different resources cannot be properly differentiated.  === wRong cAse ===Lakatos and Musgrave |collectiontitle{{note}} The <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef...]]</nowiki></code> tag is Case Sensitive. Thus, <code><nowiki>[[Citeref...]]</nowiki></code> tag won't work.
