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 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 author records. You can do this by visiting the [[:Category:Author|Author record]] page. Instructions for entering an author record are available on that page. An author record only needs to be entered once. It can then be properly defined using <code><nowiki>{{#scite}}</nowiki></code> templateused 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 |isbn=978-3319175959}}<code><nowiki>Zalta (Ed.) (2016)</nowiki></syntaxhighlightcode>[[CiteRef::Zalta (Ed.) (2016)]]
Such <code><nowiki>{{#scite}}Lakatos and Musgrave (Eds.) (1970)</nowiki></code> entries must be created for all cited resources. 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[[CiteRef::Lakatos and Musgrave (Eds. ) (1970)]]
ImportantlyHowever, these citation resources can be added to any wiki page. Once defined, the same resource can be used '''throughout the encyclopedia regardless if a collection of where it was defined'''. Thus, there papers is no need to redefine by the same source on different pages. For instanceauthor, the above resource can be referenced at any page of the encyclopedia as we don't add <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015Ed.)]]</nowiki></code>.and register that collection as a ''book'', thus:
Different types of resources require slightly different templates. At this moment the following templates are in use<code><nowiki>Lakatos (1978a)</nowiki></code>[[CiteRef:* For books* For journal articles* For articles in collections :Lakatos (1978a)]]
<syntaxhighlight lang="html4strict">{{#scite:Shapere (1980) |type=collectionMultiple Authors or Editors == |If a resource has more than one author=Shapereor editor, Dudley |title=The Character of Scientific Change |year=1980 |collectioneditor=Nickles |collectionyear=1980 |pages=61-116}}<please make sure that each author/syntaxhighlight>editor is added to the system individually and all names are indicated when defining the resource.

<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>
{{note}} 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.
== Books Online Resources ==All books must use To indicate that a resource is available online, simply add its URL in the above templaterespective field. No additional actions are required.
== Journal Articles Publication Year ==Here is 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>{{#scite}}Descartes (2003)</nowiki></code> template for journal articles:[[CiteRef::Laudan , not <code><nowiki>Descartes (19891664)]]</nowiki></code>. If needed, you can indicate the date of original 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 year of the publication, e.g. <code><nowiki>Lakatos (1978a)</nowiki></code> and <code><syntaxhighlight lang="html4strict"nowiki>{{#scite:Laudan Lakatos (19891978b) |type=journal |author=Laudan, Larry |title=If It Ain't Broke Don't Fix It |journal=The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science |volume=40 |year=1989 |pages=369-375}}</syntaxhighlightnowiki></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 example, <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p. xii]]</nowiki></code> will produce this result:[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p. xii]]. For articles in collectionsreferences 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 following formatpage number. Thus, <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)| p.xii]]</nowiki></code> is incorrect, while <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Shapere Barseghyan (19802015)|p. xii]]</nowiki></code> is correct.
== Online Resources = Up to Three Authors or Editors ===For online resources, please choose one of the above templates and add If a <code><nowiki> |url=</nowiki></code> parameter resource has up to indicate the url of the resource. For instancethree authors or editors, an article in ''The Stanford Encyclopedia all of Philosophy'' them will go under the <code><nowiki> |type=collection</nowiki></code>:[[CiteRef:be openly listed. E.g.:Bird (2013)]]

== 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 pagenumbers should be included wherever reasonable. === Wrong Year ===It is tempting to cite the year of 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 ===When 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 position year of this section needs 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 changedproperly differentiated. === wRong cAse ==={{note}} The <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef...]]</nowiki></code> tag is Case Sensitive. Thus, insert <code><nowiki>[[Citeref...]]</nowiki></code> tag won't work. Similarly, <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::barseghyan (2015)]]</nowiki></code> won't work. === Beware of Spaces ==={{#referencelist:note}}There is no space after <code><nowiki>::</nowiki></code>. Thus, <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef:: Bird (2011)]]</nowiki></code> at is invalid. The valid markup is <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Bird (2011)]]</nowiki></code>. === Citation Before Period or Comma ==={{note}} Citations that ''precede'' a comma or a period look ugly[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p.1]]. They look much better when placed ''after'' the desired locationperiod.[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p.1]]
