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 using <code><nowiki>{{#scite}}</nowiki></code> templateadded to the encyclopedia's compilation of bibliographical records. To do this, you must first enter the author or authors of the work in the author 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 |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>(Ed.)</nowiki></code> if it has one editor, or <code><nowiki>{{#scite}}(Eds.)</nowiki></code> entries must be created for all cited resourcesif it has more than one editor. E. 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 consistencyg. :

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. For instance, the above resource can be referenced at any page of the encyclopedia as <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Barseghyan-2015]]Zalta (Ed.) (2016)</nowiki></code>[[CiteRef::Zalta (Ed.) (2016)]]

Here is a <code><nowiki>{{#scite}}Lakatos and Musgrave (Eds.) (1970)</nowiki></code> template for journal articles:[[CiteRef::Laudan-1989Lakatos and Musgrave (Eds.) (1970)]]
