<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 work, the resource - in this case <code><nowiki>Barseghyan (2015)</nowiki></code> - should be properly defined using <code><nowiki>{{#scite}}</nowiki></code> templatepreviously added to [[: Category:Bibliographic Record|the bibliographic records]] of this encyclopedia. Once a bibliographic record is created, it can then be cited from any page of the encyclopedia.
<syntaxhighlight lang="html4strict">{{#scite:Barseghyan (2015) |type=book |author=Barseghyan, Hakob |titleArticles in Collections =The Laws of Scientific Change |year=2015 |publisher=Springer |isbn=9783319175959}}</syntaxhighlight> Such <code><nowiki>{{#scite}}</nowiki></code> entries must be created for all cited resources. Although, To add an article that was published in principlea collection, these bibliographic entries can the collection itself should first be inserted anywhere on any page of the wiki, the best practice is added to add all <code><nowiki>{{#scite}}</nowiki></code> entries on the special [[Bibliography]] page system. There are two basic types of this encyclopedia. This helps ensure thatcollections:* collections of articles by '''no resource is defined twice'different'' in the encyclopedia;* authors can easily '''determine whether a certain resource has been already defined''';* collections of articles by ''the same'individual articles are nice and clean''' and are not crammed with bibliographic data.To that end, it is instrumental that all <code><nowiki>{{#scite}}</nowiki></code> entries be defined on the [[Bibliography]] page in the alphabetical order. Different types of resources require slightly different templates. At this moment the following templates are in use:* For books* For journal articles* For articles in collections   == Books ==All books must use the above templateauthor.
== Journal Articles ==Here If an article is in a collection of articles by ''different'' authors, the collection's citation key should include <code><nowiki>{{#scite}}(Ed.)</nowiki></code> template for journal articles:[[CiteRef::Laudan if it has one editor, or <code><nowiki>(1989Eds.)]]</nowiki></code> if it has more than one editor. E.g.:
<syntaxhighlight lang="html4strict"code>{{#scite:Laudan <nowiki>Zalta (Ed.) (19892016) |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>[[Zalta (Ed.) (2016)]]
== Articles in Collections ==There are two basic types of collections:*collections of articles by different authors;*collections of articles by the same author<code><nowiki>Lakatos and Musgrave (Eds.) (1970)</nowiki></code>[[Lakatos and Musgrave (Eds.) (1970)]]
If However, if an article is in a collection of articles papers by different authors, then the editor(s) of the <code><nowiki>|collectionyear=</nowiki></code>same author, we don't add <code><nowiki>|collectiontitle=(Ed.)</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>|collectioneditor=</nowiki></code> parameters should also be specified. Here is the formatregister that collection as a book, thus:[[CiteRef::Shapere (1980)]]
<syntaxhighlight lang="html4strict"code>{{#scite:Shapere Lakatos (19801970) |type=collection |author=Shapere, Dudley |title=The Character of Scientific Change |year=1980 |collectioneditor=Nickles |collectionyear=1980 |collectiontitle=Scientific Discovery, Logic and Rationality |pages=61-116 |publisher=D Reidel Publishing Company |isbn=9789027710697}}</syntaxhighlight> However, if an article is in a collection of the author's papers, we don't indicate the editors but indicate the collection author through the <code><nowiki>|collectionauthor</nowiki></code> parameter, thus:[[CiteRef::Lakatos (1970)]] <syntaxhighlight lang="html4strict">{{#scite:Lakatos (1970) |type=collection |author=Lakatos, Imre |title=Falsification and the Methodology of Scientific Research Programmes |year=1970 |collectionauthor=Lakatos |collectionyear=1978 |collectiontitle=Philosophical Papers, Volume I |pages=8-101 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=9780521280310}}</syntaxhighlight>
== Online Resources ==
For To indicate that a resource is available online resources, please choose one of the above templates and simply add a <code><nowiki> |url=</nowiki></code> parameter to indicate the url of the resource. For instance, an article its URL in ''The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy'' will go under the <code><nowiki> |type=collection</nowiki></code>:[[CiteRef::Bird (2011)]] <syntaxhighlight lang="html4strict">{{#scite:Bird (2011) |type=collection |author=Bird, Alexander |title=Thomas Kuhn |year=2011 |collectioneditor=Zalta |collectionyear=2016 |url=http://platorespective field.stanfordNo additional actions are required.edu/archives/sum2016/entries/thomas-kuhn/}}</syntaxhighlight>
If the online resource is a magazine or an article, it will go under <code><nowiki> |type=journal</nowiki></code>:[[CiteRef::Allain (2016)]]  <syntaxhighlight lang="html4strict">{{#scite:Allain (2016) |type=journal |author=Allain, Rhett |title=Using Gravitational Waves to Pinpoint Colliding Black Holes |journal=Wired |year=2016 |url=http://www.wired.com/2016/02/using-gravitational-waves-to-pinpoint-colliding-black-holes/}}</syntaxhighlight> == Indicating the Page Number Numbers ==
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]].
== Multiple Authors ==
If a resource has more than one author, instead of <code><nowiki>|please make sure that each author=</nowiki></code> parameter use <code><nowiki>|is added to the system individually and all authors=</nowiki></code> (plural) parameter:[[CiteRef::Nola and Sankey (Eds.) (2015)]]  <syntaxhighlight lang="html4strict">{{#scite:Nola and Sankey (Edsare indicated when defining the resource.) (2015) |type=book |If a resource has up to three authors=Nola, Robert and Sankey, Howard (Edsall of them will be openly listed. E.) |title=After Popper, Kuhn and Feyerabendg. Recent Issues in Theories of Scientific Method |year=200 |publisher=Kluwer |isbn=978-1844650859}}</syntaxhighlight>:
Similarly, if a collection has several editors, please use <code><nowiki>|collectioneditors=Nola and Sankey (Eds.) (2015)</nowiki></code> parameter instead of <code><nowiki>|collectioneditor=</nowiki></code> parameter:[[CiteRef::Kuhn Nola and Sankey (Eds.) (1970a2015)]]
<syntaxhighlight lang="html4strict">{{#scite:Kuhn (1970a) |type=collection |author=Kuhn, Thomas |title=Reflections on My Critics |year=1970 |collectioneditors=Lakatos and Musgrave |collectionyear=1970 |pages=231-278}}</syntaxhighlight> This is importantIf a resource has more than three authors, as this tells the system to please use <code><nowiki>(edset al.)</nowiki></code> instead in the citation key of <code><nowiki>(ed.)</nowiki></code>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 , without separating them by a ''space''spaces or commas.[[CiteRef::Kuhn (1970a)]] [[CiteRef::Bird (2011)]]
<syntaxhighlight lang="html4strict">
Some text citing 2 resources.[[CiteRef::Kuhn (1970a)]] [[CiteRef::Bird (2011)]]
</syntaxhighlight>
== 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 ===
Each resource must be defined precisely once throughout the whole encyclopedia. Defining the same resource more than once can lead to unwanted consequences. To avoid that, please make sure that the resource you are about to define as an <code><nowiki>{{#scite}}</nowiki></code> entry doesn't exist.
