| File:Edit-copy green.svg | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Cite arXiv. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Contents
Usage
cite arXiv is for formatting references to preprints at the arXiv. It links to the abstract at http://www.arxiv.org/abs/eprint.
To use the template, you need only specify the 'eprint' parameter. Once you save the page, a bot will detect the citation and complete it automatically.
- Common parameters, horizontal format
{{cite arXiv |last= |first= |authorlink= |eprint= |title= |class= |year= |version= |accessdate= }}
- last1, last2, last3...: Surnames of the author(s)
- first1, first2, first3...: Forenames of the author(s)
- author1, author2, author3 etc: Name(s) of the author(s) if last-first format is not appropriate (e.g. some east Asian names)
- authorlink1, authorlink2...: Name of author's wikipedia page. Will be used to make author name a link, if present. Optional.
- eprint (Mandatory): Eprint identifier, without any "arXiv:" prefix. Prior to April 2007, the identifiers included a classification, an optional two-letter subdivision, and a 7-digit YYMMNNN uear, month, and sequence number of submission in that category. E.g. gr-qc/0610068 or math.GT/0309136. After April 2007, the format was changed to a simple YYMM.NNNN.
- class: arXiv classification, e.g. hep-th. Optional. To be used only with new-style eprint identifiers, that do not include the classification.
- title: Title of the cited paper.
- year: Year of publication. Optional.
- version: arXiv version, including leading "v", e.g. "v1". Optional.
- accessdate: Date of web access. Optional, but required by many citation standards.
The template also supports most of the parameters supported by Template:Cite journal or Template:Citation. However, once a paper is published, it is recommended to use one of those templates (instaed of cite arXiv), as they allow references to be more readily maintained by automated programs (bots).
Examples
- {{cite arXiv |last=Sparling |first=George A.J. |eprint=gr-qc/0610068 |title=Spacetime is spinorial; new dimensions are timelike |year=2006 |version=v1 }}
- → Sparling, George A.J. (2006). "Spacetime is spinorial; new dimensions are timelike". arXiv:gr-qc/0610068. Unknown parameter
|version=ignored (help)
- {{cite arXiv |last=Leinster | first=Tom |eprint=0707.0835 |class=math.CT |title=The Euler characteristic of a category as the sum of a divergent series |year=2007 }}
- → Leinster, Tom (2007). "The Euler characteristic of a category as the sum of a divergent series". arXiv:0707.0835 [math.CT].
