This Citation Style 1 template is used to create citations for articles or chapters in edited collections such as encyclopedias and dictionaries, but more generally any book or book series containing individual sections or chapters written by various authors, and put together by one or more editors. However, it is not intended for journals or magazines, which are issued periodically and have volume and (usually) issue numbers, and should be cited with {{Cite journal}}; nor is it intended for conference proceedings, which should be cited with {{Cite conference}}.
Usage
Copy a blank version to use. All parameter names must be in lowercase. Use the "|" (pipe) character between each parameter. Delete unused parameters to avoid clutter in the edit window. Some samples may include the current date. If the date is not current, then the page.

Parameters
Syntax
Nested parameters rely on their parent parameters:
- parent
- OR: parent2—may be used instead of parent
- child—may be used with parent (and is ignored if parent is not used)
- OR: child2—may be used instead of child (and is ignored if parent2 is not used)
- Where aliases are listed, only one of the parameters may be defined; if multiple aliased parameters are defined, then only one will show.
By default, sets of fields are terminated with a period (.). This can be an issue when the last field uses an abbreviation or initial that ends with a period, as then two periods will display (..). The only solution is to not include the last period in the value for the set of fields.
COinS
This template embeds COinS metadata in the HTML output, allowing reference management software to retrieve bibliographic metadata. See: Sarkarverse:COinS. As a general rule, only one data item per parameter. Do not include explanatory or alternate text:
- Use
|date=27 September 2007not|date=27 September 2007 (print version 25 September)
Use of templates within the citation template, is generally discouraged as many of these templates will add a lot of extraneous HTML or CSS that will be rendered in the metadata. Also, HTML entities, for example , –, etc., should not be used in parameters that contribute to the metadata.
COinS metadata is created for these parameters:
|periodical=,|journal=,|newspaper=,|magazine=,|work=,|website=,|encyclopedia=,|encyclopaedia=,|dictionary=|chapter=,|contribution=,|entry=,|article=,|section=|title=|publicationplace=,|publication-place=|date=,|year=,|publicationdate=,|publication-date=|series=|volume=|issue=,|number=|page=,|pages=,|at=|edition=|publisher=,|distributor=,|institution=|url=|chapterurl=,|chapter-url=,|contributionurl=,|contribution-url=,|sectionurl=|author#=,|Author#=,|authors#=,|author#-last=,|author-last#=,|last#=,|surname#=- any of the identifiers (
|isbn=,|issn=,|doi=,|pmc=, etc.)
Deprecated
The following parameters are deprecated. Their use will place the page into Category:Pages containing cite templates with deprecated parameters:
- day · month: Use date to include the day, month and year.
- coauthor · coauthors: Use last# / first# or author or authors
Description
Authors
- authorlink: Title of existing Wikipedia article about the author—not the author's website; do not wikilink. Aliases: authorlink1, author-link, author1-link, author1link.
- OR: for multiple authors, use authorlink1 through authorlinkn. Aliases: author1-link through authorn-link.
- coauthors: (deprecated)
Names of coauthors. Requires author, authors, or lastnInclude coauthors in author or authors or use separate authorn or lastn/firstn to list coauthors.
- When using shortened footnotes or parenthetical referencing styles with templates, do not use multiple names in one field or else the anchor will not match the inline link.
Title
- encyclopedia: Title of source. Can be wikilinked to an existing Wikipedia article or url may be used to add an external link, but not both. Displays in italics.
- trans_title: English translation of the title if the source cited is in a foreign language. Displays in square brackets after encyclopedia; if url is defined, then trans_title is included in the link. Use of the language parameter is recommended.
- Titles containing certain characters will display and link incorrectly unless those characters are encoded.
| newline | [ | ] | | |
|---|---|---|---|
| space | [ | ] | | |
- title: Title of source. Can be wikilinked to an existing Wikipedia article or url may be used to add an external link, but not both. Displays in quotes.
- trans_title: English translation of the title if the source cited is in a foreign language. Displays in square brackets after title; if url is defined, then trans_title is included in the link. Use of the language parameter is recommended.
- Titles containing certain characters will display and link incorrectly unless those characters are encoded.
| newline | [ | ] | | |
|---|---|---|---|
| space | [ | ] | | |
- When the title you are citing contains quotations marks or apostrophes at the beginning, end or both, you can use
 to place a separation between that punctuation and the quotation marks this template automatically provides around the title, to avoid a non-ideal display such as '''.
- For example instead of title='name' which will display on many browsers with the quotation marks surrounding it as '''name''', use |title= 'name' , which will display as " 'name' ".
- Aliases: title, article
- language: The language the source is written in, if not English. Displays in parentheses with "in" before the language name. Use the full language name or ISO 639-1 code; use of ISO 639-1 also adds appropriate language categorization; do not use icons or templates.
Date
- date: Date of source being referenced. Can be full date (day, month, and year) or partial date (month and year, season and year, year). Use same format as other publication dates in the citations.[1] Required when year is used to disambiguate
{{sfn}}links to multiple-work citations by the same author in the same year.[more] Do not wikilink. Displays after the authors and is enclosed in parentheses. If there is no author, then displays after publisher. - OR:
- year: Year of source being referenced. Required with some types of
{{sfn}}citations;[more] otherwise use date. - month: (deprecated)
Name of the month or season of publication.Use date instead. - origyear: Original publication year; displays after the date or year. For clarity, please supply specifics. For example:
|origyear=First published 1859or|origyear=Composed 1904.
- year: Year of source being referenced. Required with some types of
- ^ Publication dates in references within an article should all have the same format. See: MOS:DATEUNIFY.
Publisher
- publisher: Name of publisher; may be wikilinked if relevant. The publisher is the company that publishes the work being cited. Do not use the publisher parameter for the name of a work (e.g., a book, encyclopedia, newspaper, magazine, journal, website). Not normally used for periodicals. Corporate designations such as "Ltd", "Inc" or "GmbH" are not usually included. Omit where the publisher's name is substantially the same as the name of the work (for example, The New York Times Co. publishes The New York Times newspaper, so there is no reason to name the publisher). Displays after title; if work is defined, then publisher is enclosed in parentheses.
- place: Geographical place of publication; generally not wikilinked; omit when the name of the work includes the location; examples: The Boston Globe, The Times of India. Displays after the title; if work is defined, then location is enclosed in parentheses. Alias: location
- publication-place: If any one of publication-place, place or location are defined, then the location shows after the title; if publication-place and place or location are defined, then place or location are shown before the title prefixed with "written at" and publication-place is shown after the title.
- publication-date: Date of publication when different from the date the work was written. Displays only if year or date are defined and only if different, else publication-date is used and displayed as date. Use the same format as other dates in the article; do not wikilink. Follows publisher; if work is not defined, then publication-date is preceded by "published" and enclosed in parenthesis.
Edition, series, volume
- edition: When the publication has more than one edition; for example: "2nd", "Revised" etc. Displays " ed." after this field, so
|edition=2ndproduces "2nd ed." Does not display if a periodical field is defined.
- series or version: When the source is part of a series, such as a book series or a journal where the issue numbering has restarted.
- volume: For one publication published in several volumes. Displays after the title and series fields; volumes of four characters or less display in bold.
In-source locations
- page: The number of a single page in the source that supports the content. Use either
|page=or|pages=, but not both. Displays preceded byp.|nopp=y. - OR: pages: A range of pages in the source that supports the content. Use either
|page=or|pages=, but not both. Separate using an en dash (–); separate non-sequential pages with a comma (,); do not use to indicate the total number of pages in the source. Displays preceded bypp.|nopp=y. Hyphens are automatically converted to en dashes; if hyphens are appropriate, for example: pp. 3-1–3-15, use|at=.- nopp: Set to y to suppress the
p.pp.|page=Front cover.
- nopp: Set to y to suppress the
- OR: at: For sources where a page number is inappropriate or insufficient. Overridden by
|page=or|pages=. Use only one of|page=,|pages=, or|at=.
- Examples: page (p.) or pages (pp.); section (sec.), column (col.), paragraph (para.); track; hours, minutes and seconds; act, scene, canto, book, part, folio, stanza, back cover, liner notes, indicia, colophon, dust jacket, verse.
URL
- url: URL of an online location where the text of the publication can be found. Cannot be used if title is wikilinked. If applicable, the link may point to the specific page(s) referenced. Remove spurious tracking parameters from URLs, e.g.
#ixzz2rBr3aO94or?utm_source=google&utm_medium=...&utm_term=...&utm_campaign=.... Do not link to any commercial booksellers, such as Amazon.com. See: SV:PAGELINKS.- accessdate: Full date when original URL was accessed; use the same format as other access and archive dates in the citations; requires url.[1] Do not wikilink. Not required for web pages or linked documents that do not change; mainly for use of web pages that change frequently or have no publication date. Can be hidden or styled by registered editors.
- archiveurl: The URL of an archived copy of a web page, if or in case the url becomes unavailable. Typically used to refer to services like WebCite (see: Sarkarverse:Using WebCite) and Internet Archive (see: Sarkarverse:Using the Wayback Machine); requires archivedate and url.
- archivedate: Date when the original URL was archived; preceded by default text "archived from the original on". Use the same format as other access and archive dates in the citations. This does not necessarily have to be the same format that was used for citing publication dates.[1] Do not wikilink.
- deadurl: When the URL is still live, but pre-emptively archived, then set
|deadurl=no. This changes the display order with the title retaining the original link and the archive linked at the end.
- template doc demo: The archive parameters will be error checked to ensure that all the required parameters are included, or else {{citation error}} is invoked. With errors, main, help and template pages are placed into Category:Articles with incorrect citation syntax. Set
|template doc demo=trueto disable categorization; mainly used for documentation where the error is demonstrated.
- format: Format of the work referred to by url; for example: PDF, DOC, or XLS; displayed in parentheses after title. HTML is implied and should not be specified. Does not change the external link icon. Note: External link icons do not include alt text; thus, they do not add format information for the visually impaired.
- URLs must begin with a supported URI scheme.
http://andhttps://will be supported by all browsers; however,ftp://,gopher://,irc://,ircs://,mailto:andnews:will require a plug-in or an external application and should normally be avoided. IPv6 host-names are currently not supported. - If URLs in citation template parameters contain certain characters, then they will not display and link correctly. Those characters need to be percent-encoded. For example, a space must be replaced by
%20. To encode the URL, replace the following characters with:
| sp | " | ' | < | > | [ | ] | | | } |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| %20 | %22 | %27 | %3c | %3e | %5b | %5d | %7c | %7d |
- Single apostrophes do not need to be encoded; however, unencoded multiples will be parsed as italic or bold markup. Single curly closing braces also do not need to be encoded; however, an unencoded pair will be parsed as the double closing braces for the template transclusion.
- ^ a b Accessdate and archivedate in references should all have the same format – either the format used for publication dates, or YYYY-MM-DD. See: MOS:DATEUNIFY.
Anchor
- ref: ID for anchor. By default, no anchor is generated. The ordinary nonempty value
|ref=IDgenerates an anchor with the given ID; such a linkable reference can be made the target of wikilinks to full references, especially useful in short citations like shortened notes and parenthetical referencing. The special value|ref=harvgenerates an anchor suitable for the {{harv}} template. See: Anchors for Harvard referencing templates.
Identifiers
- id: A unique identifier, used where none of the specialized identifiers are applicable; wikilink or use a template as applicable.
These identifiers create links and are designed to accept a single value. Using multiple values or other text will break the link and/or invalidate the identifier.
- arxiv: arXiv identifier; for example:
arxiv=hep-th/9205027 - asin: Amazon Standard Identification Number
- asin-tld: ASIN top-level domain for Amazon sites other than the US; valid values:
ca,cn,co.jp,co.uk,de,es,fr,it
- asin-tld: ASIN top-level domain for Amazon sites other than the US; valid values:
- bibcode: Bibcode; used by a number of astronomical data systems; for example:
1974AJ.....79..819H - doi: Digital object identifier; for example:
10.1038/news070508-7. It is checked to ensure it begins with (10.- doi_brokendate: Date the DOI is broken; use the same format as other dates in the article.
- isbn: International Standard Book Number; for example:
978-0-8126-9593-9. (See: Wikipedia:ISBN and ISBN). Dashes in the ISBN are optional, but preferred. Use the 13-digit ISBN wherever possible; this can normally be found beneath the barcode as a number beginning with 978 or 979 (barcodes beginning with any other numbers are not ISBNs). For sources with the older 9 digit SBN system, prefix the number with a zero; thus, SBN 902888-45-5 should be entered as|isbn=0-902888-45-5. It is checked for length, invalid characters and the proper check digit. Alias: ISBN - issn: International Standard Serial Number; eight characters may be split into two groups of four using a hyphen, but not an en dash or a space.
- jfm: Jahrbuch über die Fortschritte der Mathematik
- jstor: JSTOR abstract; for example: "
jstor=3793107" will generate JSTOR 3793107. - lccn: Library of Congress Control Number
- mr: Mathematical Reviews
- oclc: OCLC
- ol: Open Library
- osti: Office of Scientific and Technical Information
- pmc: PubMed Central; use article number for full-text free repository of a journal article.
- embargo: Date that pmc goes live; if this date is in the future, then pmc is not linked until that date.
- pmid: PubMed; use unique identifier.
- rfc: Request for Comments
- ssrn: Social Science Research Network
- zbl: Zentralblatt MATH
Quote
- quote: Relevant text quoted from the source. Displays enclosed in quotes. When supplied, the citation terminator (a period by default) is suppressed, so the quote needs to include terminating punctuation.
Editors
- editor-last: Surname of editor. Do not wikilink—use editor-link instead. Where the surname is usually written first—as in Chinese—or for corporate authors, simply use editor-last to include the same format as the source. Aliases: editor1-last, editor, editors, editorn.
- editor-first: Given or first names of editor, including title(s); example: Firstname Middlename or Firstname M. or Dr. Firstname M., Sr. Do not wikilink—use editor-link instead. Aliases: editor1-first.
- OR: for multiple editors, use editor1-last, editor1-first through editorn-last, editorn-first.
- editor-link: Title of existing Wikipedia article about the editor—not the editor's website; do not wikilink. Aliases: editor1-link.
- OR: for multiple editors, use editor1-link through editorn-link.
- Display:
- If authors: Authors are first, followed by the included work, then "In" and the editors, then the main work.
- If no authors: Editors appear before the included work; a single editor is followed by "ed."; multiple editors are followed by "eds."; exactly four editors will show three editors followed by "et al., eds."
Laysummary
- layurl: URL link to a non-technical summary or review of the source; the URL title is set to "Lay summary". Aliases: laysummary.
- laysource: Name of the source of the laysummary. Displays in italics and preceded by an endash.
- laydate: Date of the summary. Displays in parentheses.
Display options
- display-editors: Controls the number of editor names that are displayed when a citation is published. To change the displayed number of editors, set display-editors to the desired number. For example,
|display-editors=2will display only the first two editors in a citation. By default, all editors are displayed except when there are four editors, then the editor list in the citation is truncated to three editors, followed by "et al." This exception mimics the older version of the template for compatibility. If a citation contains four editor names and one wishes all four editor names to display, "et al." may be suppressed by setting|display-editors=4. Aliases: displayeditors. - postscript: Controls the closing punctuation for a citation; defaults to a period (
.); for no terminating punctuation, specify|postscript=none– leaving|postscript=empty has the same effect but is ambiguous. Ignored if quote is defined. - separator: Controls the punctuation used to separate lists of authors, editors, etc. Defaults to a period (
.); if the parameter is present, but blank, separator punctuation is set to the default; a space must be encoded as .
Subscription or registration required
- Main page: SV:PAYWALL
These parameters add a link note to the end of the citation:
- registration: For online sources that require registration, set
|registration=yes; superseded by subscription if both are set. - subscription: For online sources that require a subscription, set
|subscription=yes; supersedes registration if both are set.
