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:
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">= Articles in Collections =={{#sciteTo 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:Barseghyan (2015) * collections of articles by ''different'' [[:Category:Author|type=bookauthors]]; |* collections of articles by ''the same'' author=Barseghyan, Hakob. |title=The Laws If an article is in a collection of Scientific Changearticles by ''different'' authors, the collection's citation key should include <code><nowiki>(Ed.)</nowiki></code> if it has one editor, or <code><nowiki>(Eds.)</nowiki></code> if it has more than one editor. E.g.: |year=2015 |publisher=Springer<code><nowiki>Zalta (Ed.) (2016)</nowiki></code>[[CiteRef::Zalta (Ed.) (2016)]] |isbn=978-3319175959}}<code><nowiki>Lakatos and Musgrave (Eds.) (1970)</nowiki></syntaxhighlightcode>[[CiteRef::Lakatos and Musgrave (Eds.) (1970)]]
Such However, if a collection of papers is by the same author, we don't add <code><nowiki>{{#scite}}(Ed.)</nowiki></code> entries must be created for all cited resources. While technically these bibliographic entries can be inserted anywhere on the pageand register that collection as a ''book'', we recommend placing them at the end of the article for the sake of consistency. thus:
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 Lakatos (20151978a)]]</nowiki></code>.[[CiteRef::Lakatos (1978a)]]
The encyclopedia will automatically add {{note}} Articles from ''Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy'' (SEP) must be cited as 'References'collection articles'' section . Please refer to the bottom [[Bird (2011)]] for an example of the pagehow SEP articles are to be entered.
<syntaxhighlight lang="html4strict">{{#scite:Laudan (1989) |type=journal |authorPublication Year =Laudan, Larry |title=If It Ain't Broke Don't Fix It |journal=The British Journal A resource can have more than one editions. When creating a bibliographic record for a publication, the Philosophy year of Science |volume=40 |actual publication should be used, rather than the year=1989 |pages=369-375}}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></syntaxhighlightcode>.

<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>
== Journal Articles Online Resources ==Here To indicate that a resource is a <code><nowiki>{{#scite}}</nowiki></code> template for journal articles:[[CiteRef::Laudan (1989)]]available online, simply add its URL in the respective field. No additional actions are required.
If an author has more than one publication in the same year, then these publications should be differentiated by adding a letter after the year of the publication, e.g. <code><nowiki>Lakatos (1978a)</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>Lakatos (1978b)</nowiki></code>.[[CiteRef::Lakatos (1978a)]][[CiteRef::Lakatos (1978b)]] == Articles in Collections 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 articles 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>|p.</nowiki></code>, e.g. <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|pp. 1-3]]</nowiki></code>:[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|pp. 1-3]] {{note}} 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::Barseghyan (2015)| p.xii]]</nowiki></code> is incorrect, while <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p. xii]]</nowiki></code> is correct. == 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, and Laudan (Eds.) (1988)]] Note, that the names are separated with commas, as well as an <code><nowiki>and</nowiki></code>. === More than Three Authors or Editors ===If a resource has more than three authors/editors, please use <code><nowiki>et al.</nowiki></code> in collectionsthe citation key of the resource. E.g.: <code><nowiki>Olby et al. (Eds.) (1990)</nowiki></code>[[CiteRef::Olby et al. (Eds.) (1990)]] However, ''all'' the authors/editors should still be listed as such when entering the bibliographic record of the resource. == Multiple Resources ==If two or more resources need to be cited at the same time, please use insert as many <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef...]]</nowiki></code> references as necessary, ''without'' separating them by spaces or commas. For instance, the following code <code><nowiki>Some text citing 2 resources.[[CiteRef::Kuhn (1970a)]][[CiteRef::Bird (2011)]]</nowiki></code> produces the following formatresult: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 ===== Missing Page Numbers ===When a bibliographic resource is cited for a specific idea, page numbers are normally required. Simply citing the whole book isn't really helpful; the respective page numbers should be included wherever reasonable.
== Online Resources = Missing Letter ===For online resourcesWhen entering a resource, it is important to check if the author had other publications in the same year. If so, please choose one a letter should be added after the year of the above templates and add a resource to differentiate the publications within the same year, e.g. e.g. <code><nowiki> |url=Feyerabend (1975a)</nowiki></code> parameter to indicate the url of the resource. For instance, an article in ''The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy'' will go under the and <code><nowiki> |type=collectionFeyerabend (1975b)</nowiki></code>:[[CiteRef::Bird (2013)]]. If the letters are missing, different resources cannot be properly differentiated.
