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">{{#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. Although 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 resource 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 Zalta (Ed.) (20152016)]]</nowiki></code>[[CiteRef::Zalta (Ed.) (2016)]]
Different types of resources require slightly different templates<code><nowiki>Lakatos and Musgrave (Eds. At this moment the following templates are in use) (1970)</nowiki></code>[[CiteRef:* For books* For journal articles* For articles in collections :Lakatos and Musgrave (Eds.) (1970)]]
== Books ==All books must use the above template.<code><nowiki>Lakatos (1978a)</nowiki></code>[[CiteRef::Lakatos (1978a)]]
== Journal Articles ==Here is a <code><nowiki>{{#scitenote}}</nowiki></code> template for journal Articles from ''Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy'' (SEP) must be cited as ''collection articles:''. Please refer to [[CiteRef::Laudan Bird (19892011)]]for an example of how SEP articles are to be entered. == Online Resources ==To indicate that a resource is available online, simply add its URL in the respective field. No additional actions are required.

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>
However, if a collection of papers is by the same author, we don't add <code><nowiki>(Ed.)</nowiki></code> and register that collection as a ''book'', thus:
{{note}} There should be '''no space''' between <syntaxhighlight lang="html4strict"code><nowiki>{{#scite:Bird (2013) |type=collection |author=Bird, Alexander |title=Thomas Kuhn |year=2013 |collectioneditor=Zalta |collectionyear=2013 |url=http:</nowiki></platocode> and <code><nowiki>p.stanford.edu</archivesnowiki></fall2013code>, but there must be a space ''before'' the page number. Thus, <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)| p.xii]]</entriesnowiki></thomas-kuhncode> is incorrect, while <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p. xii]]</}}nowiki></syntaxhighlightcode>is correct.
== Multiple Authors or Editors ==If the online a resource is a magazine has more than one author or an articleeditor, it will go under <code><nowiki> |type=journal<please make sure that each author/nowiki></code>:[[CiteRef::Allain (2016)]] editor is added to the system individually and all names are indicated when defining the resource.
== Multiple Resources ==
If two or more resources need to be cited at the same time, please insert as many <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef...]]</nowiki></code> references as necessary separated by a , ''spacewithout''separating them by spaces or commas.[[CiteRef::Kuhn (1970a)]] [[CiteRef::Bird (2013)]]
For instance, the following code <syntaxhighlight lang="html4strict"code><nowiki>Some text citing 2 resources.[[CiteRef::Kuhn (1970a)]] [[CiteRef::Bird (20132011)]] </syntaxhighlightnowiki></code> produces the following result: 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 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 be changeddifferentiate the publications within the same year, insert 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 ==={{#referencelist:note}}The <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef...]]</nowiki></code> at the desired locationtag is Case Sensitive. In most casesThus, <code><nowiki>[[Citeref...]]</nowiki></code> tag won't work. Similarly, <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::barseghyan (2015)]]</nowiki></code> won''References''' should be the last section on the paget work. That === Beware of Spaces ==={{note}} There is the default behavior if no space after <code><nowiki>::</nowiki></code>. Thus, <code><nowiki>{{#referencelist[[CiteRef::}}Bird (2011)]]</nowiki></code> is inserted on the pageinvalid. So please '''do not insert''' any The valid markup is <code><nowiki>{{#referencelist[[CiteRef::}}Bird (2011)]]</nowiki></code> unless you absolutely need to move the . === Citation Before Period or Comma ==={{note}} Citations that ''precede''Referencesa comma or a period look ugly[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p.1]].
