[edit] Citing and references
We raise the claim to be a scientific knowledge base what makes correct citing and referencing for the provided content one of the most urgent issues in AWF-Wiki.
[edit] General citation style
- As general style for citations we prefer you to follow the below example
- Barrett, D.J. 2008. Mediawiki. Wikipedia and Beyond. O'Reilly Media, Sebastopol. 358 p.
- In case of Journal articles please follow this example
- Author1, H.K., Author2, J.G., Author3, k. 2008. Building up a Forest Science Knowledge Base with Mediawiki. Journal of IT in Science, 12(3), 121-134.
[edit] Implementation
To implement citations we use the wiki-extension Cite that enshures a clean and organised style of references.
References are placed in between a <ref> </ref> - tag in the text (right at the position of the citation). This sentence is an example for a citation (Author1 et al. 2008 [1]), you can see the small indicator linking to the footnote at the end of this section. The basic concept of the <ref> tag is that it inserts the text enclosed by the ref tags as a footnote in a designated section, which you indicate with the placeholder tag <references /> like this:
==References==
<references/>
If you forget to include <references /> at the end of the article, none of the footnotes will appear.
Info
- The wiki-syntax for the above citation is: (Author1 et al. 2008 <ref> Author1, H.K., Author2, J.G., Author3, k. 2008. The Idea of Building up a Forest Science Knowledge Base with Mediawiki. Journal of IT in Science, 12(3), 121-134. </ref>). You put the
ref-tag in the brackets.
If you like to cite one source multiple times in your article, you have to name the <ref> </ref> - tags. All tags with the same name will refer to the same footnote. A named <ref></ref>-tag looks like this:
<ref name=any name>Your reference here</ref>.
[edit] Links
If you are able to provide a link or the doi of the cited article it can be included in the <ref/>-tag. Here is an example of such a link, you see the result in the references at the end of the page:
(Tomppo et al. 2008 [2])
In this example the doi link is included in the reference like this:
<ref>Tomppo, E., Winter, S., Gherardo, C., McRoberts, R.E., Hauk, E. 2008. Possibilities for harmonizing national forest inventory data for use in forest biodiversity assessments. Forestry 81(1), 33-44.[http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/forestry/cpm042 doi:10.1093]</ref>
[edit] Missing references
In case of missing or incomplete references for an article it might happen, that other members or referees ask for references by using a template. This template can be added on top of the article and refers to the discussion page of the article where you find more details. It is included by the following simple syntax:
{{references}}
and looks like this for all readers:
 |

Please provide more references for the article References to meet the AWF-Wiki quality standards! Please visit the Diskussion Page of this article for details! Help to improve this article if you can! |
