Template:Cite journal/doc
Template:Documentation subpage Cite journal is for formatting references to articles in magazines and academic journals in a consistent and legible manner. It can be used at the end of the article, directly in the References section. It can also be placed within <ref> tags for in-line citations. Template:Selfref
Usage

Legend
- author: Author
- last works with first to produce
last, first;
- authorlink works either with author or with last & first to link to the appropriate article (InterWikimedia links)
- coauthors: allows additional authors
- last works with first to produce
- date: January 1, 2006. Full date of publication.
- year: 2006. Year of publication (ignored if the date field is used).
- month: January. Month of publication (ignored if the date field is used, or if the year field is not used).
- day: 31. Day of month of publication (ignored if the date field is used, or if the month field is not used).
- month: January. Month of publication (ignored if the date field is used, or if the year field is not used).
- year: 2006. Year of publication (ignored if the date field is used).
- title: Title of article. This is the only required parameter. All other parameters are optional.
- journal: Name of the journal or periodical.
- volume: Volume number of the journal in which the article is found
- series or version: At most one of these may be entered. In either case the value will be displayed in plaintext after the title.
- series: According to the 14th edition of Chicago Manual of Style p. 576, "As in the case of book series, some journals have attained such longevity that they have begun a new series of volumes or issues. Identification of the series (n.s., 2d ser., 3d ser., ser. b) must be made in citations to these journals."
- version: This parameter is retained for compatibility with the Cite paper template, which is in the process of being redirected here. This is used for standards documents, which retain the same title and document number (e.g. ISO nnnnn) but may have many revisions (e.g. ISO nnnnn-xxxx).
- issue: Journal's issue number, or issue name.
- page or pages: 45–47: first page, and optional last page (separated by an en dash –). Manually prepend with p. or pp. if desired.
- publisher: Publisher of journal or periodical; should not include corporate designation such as "Ltd" or "Inc". Only include if ISSN and DOI are unavailable.
- location: Place of publication for journal or periodical.
- issn: The publication's International Standard Serial Number such as 1111-2220. Only include if a DOI is unavailable.
- pmid: The document's PubMed Unique Identifier, such as 15128012
- pmc: The document's PubMed Central article number (PMCID) for full-text free repository of an article, such as 246835
- oclc: The periodical's Online Computer Library Center ID number, such as 3185581
- doi: A digital object identifier for the document, such as
10.1130/0091-7613(1990)018<1153:TAFSIA>2.3.CO;2
.
- doi_brokendate: Sometimes the doi target link might not function (e.g. the journal is transferred to a new publisher which does not provide doi access). A blanked out doi parameter could lead to a later editor or bot re-adding the doi. Instead, use this parameter, which takes a date argument. Must not be wikilinked.
The doi value is still shown, but without a link, and the mainspace article is added to "Category:Pages with DOIs broken since YYYY".
- doi_brokendate: Sometimes the doi target link might not function (e.g. the journal is transferred to a new publisher which does not provide doi access). A blanked out doi parameter could lead to a later editor or bot re-adding the doi. Instead, use this parameter, which takes a date argument. Must not be wikilinked.
- bibcode: The document's bibcode in the Astrophysics Data System, e.g., 1924MNRAS..84..308E
- id: A unique identifier, used if none of the above are applicable. In this case, you need to specify the kind of identifier you are using, preferably with a template like Template:Tl, Template:Tl / Template:Tl, Template:Tl, Template:Tl, Template:Tl or Template:Tl. (Use one of the more specialized parameters if possible; they are linked automatically. In other words, don't use
id = PMID 15128012
anymore. Usepmid = 15128012
.) - url: This should point to, in descending order of preference:
- A free online version of the full text
- An online version of the full text, for which subscription is required
- An abstract or information page, if no DOI or PMID record is available
- If a DOI or PMID is available, the URL should only be specified if it would point to a different page to that which a DOI or PMID would redirect to.
- language: Language, e.g. Finnish. (English is assumed and should not be specified.)
- format: Format, e.g. PDF. Don't specify for HTML (implied as default).
- Specify as 'fee required' if free access no longer available.
- Specify as 'Reprint' if a full original version but not hosted by the original publisher.
- accessdate: Full date when URL was last checked.
- laysummary: URL of a lay summary, which could be in a popular science magazine or newspaper.
- laysource: Name of the source, e.g. The Guardian (UK newspaper) or New Scientist.
- laydate: Date of publication or, where this is not available, date of retrieval of the lay summary.
- An alternate method of adding one or more references to common media (preferably in Layman's terms) from the related journal citation can be specified within a single
<ref>...</ref>
tag using other citation templates; for example:- Text in the article.<ref>{{cite journal | ... }}<br/>
'''Related news articles:'''
*{{cite news | ... }}
*{{cite web | ... }}</ref>
- Text in the article.<ref>{{cite journal | ... }}<br/>
- quote: Relevant excerpt from the journal.
- ps: the 'postscript' - if specified, over-rides the default behaviour of terminating the citation with a full stop. Leave blank to suppress the full stop. This may be useful when using a quote which ends in punctuation, or when generating an output consistent with other templates. It is preferred to manually adding ending punctuation, as the punctuation occurs within the <cite> tag, so will appear before any icons added by browser plugins.
Notes
Although it may appear redundant to include multiple ids for articles, it is helpful for many editors who only have access to a certain resource. If only one ID is to be included, the DOI should be used, as this is the universal standard preferred by professional publications. Specifying a link as a doi, pmid etc is always preferable to including it as a url parameter, as it makes it clear that the link is accurate and stable.
Examples
- Formal citation
- {{cite journal |last=Smith |first=Joseph III |title=Last Testimony of Sister Emma |journal=The Saints' Herald |volume=26 |year=1879 |month=October |page=289}}
- → Smith, Joseph III (October 1879). "Last Testimony of Sister Emma". The Saints' Herald 26: 289.
- Include URL link to free-article, pre-print or abstract; also supply access date unless the URL is known to be stable.
- {{cite journal |author=[[Winston Churchill|Winston S. Churchill]] |title=A silent toast to William Willett |url=http://www.winstonchurchill.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=266 |accessdate=2007-05-16 |journal=Pictorial Weekly |date=1934-04-28}}
- → Winston S. Churchill (1934-04-28). "A silent toast to William Willett". Pictorial Weekly. http://www.winstonchurchill.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=266. Retrieved on 2007-05-16.
- Specify the DOI to provide a permanent link. Also give the PMID abstract for medical articles, and the URL if the article is free. PubMed Central free full-text repository links may also be supplied and will link the title if URL not specified, else as additional linked PMC value at the end of the citation
- {{cite journal |author=Viollet B; Andreelli F; Jørgensen SB ''et al'' |title=The AMP-activated protein kinase alpha2 catalytic subunit controls whole-body insulin sensitivity |journal=J. Clin. Invest. |volume=111 |issue=1 |pages=91–8 |year=2003 |month=January |pmid=12511592 |pmc=151837 |doi=10.1172/JCI16567 |url=http://www.jci.org/articles/view/16567}}
- → Viollet B, Andreelli F, Jørgensen SB, et al (January 2003). "The AMP-activated protein kinase alpha2 catalytic subunit controls whole-body insulin sensitivity". J. Clin. Invest. 111 (1): 91–8. doi: . PMID 12511592. PMC: 151837. http://www.jci.org/articles/view/16567.
Whereas if the url had not been specified, then the title is linked to PubMed Central's copy of the article and no duplicate PMC link is shown for compactness:
- {{cite journal |author=Viollet B, Andreelli F, Jørgensen SB, ''et al'' |title=The AMP-activated protein kinase alpha2 catalytic subunit controls whole-body insulin sensitivity |journal=J. Clin. Invest. |volume=111 |issue=1 |pages=91–8 |year=2003 |month=January |pmid=12511592 |pmc=151837 |doi=10.1172/JCI16567 |url=}}
- → Viollet B, Andreelli F, Jørgensen SB, et al (January 2003). "The AMP-activated protein kinase alpha2 catalytic subunit controls whole-body insulin sensitivity". J. Clin. Invest. 111 (1): 91–8. doi: . PMID 12511592.
If the doi link is broken, then use of the doi_brokendate parameter unlinks the doi value, indicates when the doi-problem was first noticed, and will also add the page to "Category:Pages with DOIs broken since YYYY":
- {{cite journal |author=Viollet B, Andreelli F, Jørgensen SB, ''et al'' |title=The AMP-activated protein kinase alpha2 catalytic subunit controls whole-body insulin sensitivity |journal=J. Clin. Invest. |volume=111 |issue=1 |pages=91–8 |year=2003 |month=January |pmid=12511592 |pmc=151837 |doi=10.1172/JCI16567 |doi_brokendate=2008-06-18 |url=}}
- → Viollet B, Andreelli F, Jørgensen SB, et al (January 2003). "The AMP-activated protein kinase alpha2 catalytic subunit controls whole-body insulin sensitivity". J. Clin. Invest. 111 (1): 91–8. doi:10.1172/JCI16567 (inactive 2008-06-18). PMID 12511592.
