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. Instructions for entering an author 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 <code><nowiki>{{#scite}}</nowiki></code> entries must be created for all cited resources. Although, If an article is in principle, these bibliographic entries can be inserted anywhere on any page a collection of the wikiarticles by ''different'' authors, the best practice is to add all collection's citation key should include <code><nowiki>{{#scite}}(Ed.)</nowiki></code> entries on the special [[Bibliography]] page of this encyclopedia. This helps ensure that:* '''no resource is defined twice''' in the encyclopedia;* authors can easily '''determine whether a certain resource if it has been already defined'''.To that endone editor, it is instrumental that all or <code><nowiki>{{#scite}}(Eds.)</nowiki></code> entries be defined in the alphabetical orderif it has more than one editor. E.g. :
{{note|'''Note:''' The same resource '''should only be defined once''' throughout the encyclopedia. Once defined on any page of the encyclopedia, the resource can be cited '''throughout the encyclopedia regardless of where it was defined'''. For instance, the above resource is defined on this page but can be referenced from any page of the encyclopedia as <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Barseghyan Zalta (Ed.) (20152016)]]</nowiki></code>[[CiteRef::Zalta (Ed.|reminder}}) (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.
<syntaxhighlight lang="html4strict">{{#scite:Laudan (1989) |type=journal |authorOnline Resources =Laudan, Larry |title=If It Ain't Broke Don't Fix It |journal=The British Journal for To indicate that a resource is available online, simply add its URL in the Philosophy of Science |volume=40 |year=1989 |pages=369-375}}</syntaxhighlight>respective field. No additional actions are required.
If the online resource is a magazine or an article, it will go under {{note}} There should be '''no space''' between <code><nowiki> |type=journal</nowiki></code>:and <code><nowiki>p.</nowiki></code>, but there must be a space ''before'' the page number. Thus, <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Allain Barseghyan (20162015)| p.xii]] <syntaxhighlight lang="html4strict"/nowiki></code> is incorrect, while <code><nowiki>{{#scite[[CiteRef::Allain Barseghyan (20162015) |type=journal |author=Allain, Rhett |title=Using Gravitational Waves to Pinpoint Colliding Black Holes |journal=Wired |year=2016 |url=http://wwwp.wired.comxii]]</2016/02/using-gravitational-waves-to-pinpoint-colliding-black-holes/}}nowiki></syntaxhighlightcode>is correct.
For references === Up to '''multiple pages'''Three Authors or Editors ===If a resource has up to three authors or editors, please use <code><nowiki>|pp.</nowiki></code> instead all of <code><nowiki>|pthem will be openly listed.</nowiki></code>, eE.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> Nola and <code><nowiki>pSankey (Eds.) (2000)</nowiki></code>, but there must be a space ''before'' the page number. Thus, <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Barseghyan Nola and Sankey (Eds.) (20152000)| p.xii]]<code></nowiki>Donovan, Laudan, and Laudan (Eds.) (1988)</codenowiki> is incorrect, while </code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Barseghyan Donovan, Laudan, and Laudan (Eds.) (20151988)|p. xii]]</nowiki></code> is correct.
== Multiple Authors ==If a resource has more than one authorNote, instead of that the names are separated with commas, as well as an <code><nowiki>|author=and</nowiki></code> parameter use <code><nowiki>|authors=</nowiki></code> (plural) parameter:[[CiteRef::Nola and Sankey (Eds.) (2015)]]

E.g.:
Similarly, if a collection has several editors, please use <code><nowiki>|collectioneditors=Olby et al. (Eds.) (1990)</nowiki></code> parameter instead of <code><nowiki>|collectioneditor=</nowiki></code> parameter:[[CiteRef::Kuhn Olby et al. (Eds.) (1970a1990)]]

<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:
== Articles in Collections 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 articles example, Descartes' ''Treatise on Man'' was originally published in collections1664, please use but if you are using the translation of the following format:[[CiteRef::Shapere ''Treatise'' published by Prometheus Books in 2003, then the citation key should be <code><nowiki>Descartes (2003)</nowiki></code>, not <code><nowiki>Descartes (19801664)]]</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:Shapere Lakatos (19801978b) |type=collection |author=Shapere, Dudley |title=The Character of Scientific Change |year=1980 |collectioneditor=Nickles |collectionyear=1980 |pages=61-116}}</syntaxhighlightnowiki></code>.[[CiteRef::Lakatos (1978a)]][[CiteRef::Lakatos (1978b)]]
== Online Resources Page Numbers ==For online resourcesWhenever 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, please choose one regardless of the nature of the source. To indicate a specific page of the above templates and citation, please add a <code><nowiki> |url=p. <pagenumber></nowiki></code> parameter to indicate the url of the resource<code><nowiki>[[CiteRef...]]</nowiki></code> annotation. For instanceexample, an article in ''The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy'' will go under the <code><nowiki> [[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|type=collectionp. xii]]</nowiki></code>will produce this result:[[CiteRef::Bird Barseghyan (20132015)|p. xii]].
For references to '''multiple pages''', please use <code><syntaxhighlight lang="html4strict"nowiki>{{#scite:Bird (2013) |type=collection pp.</nowiki></code> instead of <code><nowiki>|author=Bird, Alexander |title=Thomas Kuhn |year=2013 |collectioneditor=Zalta |collectionyear=2013 |url=http:p.</nowiki></platocode>, e.stanfordg. <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|pp.edu/archives/fall2013/entries/thomas1-kuhn3]]</}}nowiki></syntaxhighlightcode>:[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|pp. 1-3]]
== Indicating the Page Number Multiple Authors or Editors ==To indicate If a specific page of the citationresource has more than one author or editor, please add <code><nowiki>|p. <pagenumber><make sure that each author/nowiki></code> editor is added 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]]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 the each page. If the position of this section needs to be changed, insert <code><nowiki>{{#referencelist:}}</nowiki></code> at the desired location. In most cases, '''References''' should be the last section on the page. That No additional action is the default behavior if no <code><nowiki>{{#referencelist:}}</nowiki></code> is inserted on the page. So please '''do not insert''' any <code><nowiki>{{#referencelist:}}</nowiki></code> unless you absolutely need to move the '''References''' section from its default location at the bottom of the pagerequired.
== Common Errors ==
=== Multiple Definitions Missing Page Numbers ===Each When a bibliographic resource must be defined precisely once throughout is cited for a specific idea, page numbers are normally required. Simply citing the whole encyclopediabook isn't really helpful; the respective page numbers should be included wherever reasonable. Defining === Wrong Year ===It is tempting to cite the same year of first edition of a resource more than once can lead to unwanted consequenceseven 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 thatwas 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, please make sure that a letter should be added after the year of the resource you are about to define as an differentiate the publications within the same year, e.g. e.g. <code><nowiki>{{#scite}}Feyerabend (1975a)</nowiki></code> entry doesn't existand <code><nowiki>Feyerabend (1975b)</nowiki></code>. If the letters are missing, different resources cannot be properly differentiated.

=== Beware of Spaces ===
{{note}} There is no space after <code><nowiki>::</nowiki></code>. Thus, <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef:: Bird (20132011)]]</nowiki></code> is invalid. The valid markup is <code><nowiki>[[CiteRef::Bird (20132011)]]</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 period.[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p.1]]
