{{#invoke:Message box|ombox}} {{#invoke:Lua banner|main}} {{#invoke:Infobox|infobox}} This Citation Style 1 template is used to create citations for books. When citing an article in a periodical, use {{cite journal}}. For edited collections, use {{cite encyclopedia}}.

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 purge the page.


Most commonly used parameters in horizontal format

To cite a book with a credited author {{cite book |last= |first= |date= |title= |url= |location= |publisher= |page= |isbn= |accessdate= }}

To cite a book with no credited author {{cite book |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title= |url= |location= |publisher= |page= |date= |isbn= |accessdate= }}

To cite an online book that has been archived {{cite book |last= |first= |date= |title= |url= |deadurl= |location= |publisher= |isbn= |archiveurl= |archivedate= |accessdate= }}

To cite a book written in a foreign language {{cite book |last= |first= |date= |title= |trans_title= |url= |language= |location= |publisher= |isbn= |accessdate= }}

To cite and quote an archived, two-author, foreign language book re-published as a PDF on an information aggregation service requiring a subscription {{cite book |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= |title= |trans_title= |url= |deadurl= |format= |language= |location= |publisher= |isbn= |archiveurl= |archivedate= |accessdate= |via= |subscription= |quote= }}

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.

COinS

This template embeds COinS metadata in the HTML output, allowing reference management software to retrieve bibliographic metadata. See: Wikipedia:COinS. As a general rule, only one data item per parameter. Do not include explanatory or alternate text:

Use of templates within the citation template, is generally discouraged because many of these templates will add extraneous HTML or CSS that will be rendered in the metadata. Also, HTML entities, for example &nbsp;, &ndash;, etc, should not be used in parameters that contribute to the metadata. Do not include Wiki markup '' (italic font) or ''' (bold font) because these markup characters will contaminate the metadata.

COinS metadata is created for these parameters:

  • |{{#if:periodical|periodical=}}, |{{#if:journal|journal=}}, |{{#if:newspaper|newspaper=}}, |{{#if:magazine|magazine=}}, |{{#if:work|work=}}, |{{#if:website|website=}}, |{{#if:encyclopedia|encyclopedia=}}, |{{#if:encyclopaedia|encyclopaedia=}}, |{{#if:dictionary|dictionary=}}

Deprecated

The following parameters are deprecated. Their use will place the page into Category:Pages containing cite templates with deprecated parameters:

{{#if:yes|* {{#ifeq:Template||Template:FormattingError|day · month}}: Use {{#ifeq:Template||Template:FormattingError|date}} to include the day, month and year.

Description

Authors

  • last: Surname of author. Do not wikilink—use authorlink instead. Where the surname is usually written first—as in Chinese—or for corporate authors, simply use last to include the same format as the source. Aliases: last1, author, authors, author1{{#if:|, }}.
    • first: Given or first names of author, including title(s); for example: Firstname Middlename or Firstname M. or Dr. Firstname M., Sr. Do not wikilink—use authorlink instead. Aliases: first1. Requires last; first name will not display if last is empty.

{{#if: yes|

    • OR: for multiple authors, use last1, first1 through lastn, firstn where n is any consecutive number for an unlimited number of authors (each firstn requires a corresponding lastn). By default, if nine authors are defined, then only eight will show and "et al." will show in place of the last author. See the display parameters to change. Aliases: author1 through authorn.

|

    • OR: for multiple authors, use last1, first1 through last9, first9 for up to nine authors. By default, if nine authors are defined, then only eight will show and "et al." will show in place of the last author. See the display parameters to change. Aliases: author1 through author9.}}
  • authorlink: Title of existing Wikipedia article about the author—not the author's website; do not wikilink. Aliases: authorlink1, author-link, author1-link, author1link.

{{#if: yes|

  • OR: for multiple authors, use authorlink1 through authorlinkn. Aliases: author1-link through authorn-link.

|

  • OR: for multiple authors, use authorlink1 through authorlink9. Aliases: author1-link through author9-link.}}{{#if: yes|
  • {{#ifeq:Template||Template:FormattingError|coauthors}}: (deprecated) Names of coauthors. Requires author, authors, or lastn Include coauthors in author or authors or use separate authorn or lastn/firstn to list coauthors.}}{{#if: yes|
  • others: To record other contributors to the work, such as Illustrated by John Smith or Translated by John Smith.}}
When using {{#ifeq:y|y|shortened footnotes|Shortened footnotes}} or {{#ifeq:y|y|parenthetical referencing|Parenthetical referencing}} styles with templates, do not use multiple names in one field or else the anchor will not match the inline link.

Title

  • {{#switch:

|encyclopedia=encyclopedia |#default = 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. {{#switch:Cite book |Cite journal |Cite web |Cite news |Cite press release |Cite conference |Cite podcast = Displays in quotes |#default = Displays in italics}}. {{#if:yes|If script-title is defined, title holds romanized transliteration of title in script-title.}}{{#if:yes|

    • script-title: Original title for languages that do not use a Latin-based alphabet (Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Japanese, etc); not italicized, follows italicized transliteration defined in title. May be prefixed with an ISO 639-1 two-character code to help browsers properly display the script:
      ... |title=Tōkyō tawā |script-title=ja:東京タワー |trans-title=Tokyo Tower ...}}
    • trans-title: English translation of the title if the source cited is in a foreign language. Displays in square brackets after {{#switch:

|encyclopedia=encyclopedia |#default = 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 &#91; &#93; &#124;

{{#ifeq:italics|quotes|

  • When the title you are citing contains quotations marks or apostrophes at the beginning, end or both, you can use &thinsp; 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 '''.
  • type: Provides additional information about the media type of the source; format in sentence case. Displays in parentheses following the title. {{#if:|Defaults to .|Examples: Thesis, Booklet, CD liner, Press release.}}
  • {{#switch:

| booktitle = booktitle | #default = chapter}}: The chapter heading of the source. May be wikilinked or may use chapter-url, but not both. {{#switch:Cite book |Cite journal |Cite web |Cite news |Cite press release |Cite conference |Cite podcast = Not displayed even if set |#default = Displays in quotes}}.

    • trans-chapter: English translation of the chapter heading, if the source cited is in a foreign language. Displays in square brackets after the {{#switch:

| booktitle = booktitle | #default = chapter}} field; if chapter-url is defined, then trans-chapter is included in the link. Use of the language parameter is recommended.

  • 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{{#if:yes| or ISO 639-1 code; use of language names or language codes recognized by Wikimedia adds the page to the appropriate subcategory of {{#ifeq:{{#titleparts:Cite book/doc|1}}|Stub types for deletion |Cat:CS1 foreign language sources
| Category:CS1 foreign language sources

Publisher

  • publisher: Name of publisher{{#ifeq:|yes|. The publisher is the company that publishes the work being cited. Do not use the publisher parameter for the name of the work (e.g., a book, encyclopedia, newspaper, magazine, journal, website). Displays before title. Do not wikilink— use publisher-link instead.
  • publisher-link: Title of existing Wikipedia article about the publisher—not the publisher's website; do not wikilink.|; 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{{#ifeq:|no|.|; 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.
  • via: Name of the content deliverer (if different from publisher) that presents the source in a format other than the original (e.g. NewsBank); or when the URL provided does not make clear the identity of the deliverer; or where no URL or DOI is available (EBSCO); or if the deliverer requests attribution; or as suggested in WP:The Wikipedia Library (e.g. Credo, HighBeam). |{{#if:via|via=}} permits adding a level of detail to "say where you found it" within the syntax of the citation template. |{{#if:via|via=}} is not intended to replace |{{#if:publisher|publisher=}}. See also |{{#if:registration|registration=}} and |{{#if:subscription|subscription=}}.

Edition, series, volume

  • edition: When the publication has more than one edition; for example: "2nd", "Revised" etc. Displays " ed." after this field, so |{{#if:edition|edition=}}2nd produces "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. {{#if: yes|Displays after the title and series fields; volumes of four characters or less display in bold.|Displays after the title and series fields; displays in bold— if bolding is not desired, then include the volume information in the title field.}}

In-source locations

  • page: The number of a single page in the source that supports the content. Use either |{{#if:page|page=}} or |{{#if:pages|pages=}}, but not both. Displays preceded by <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="none">p.</syntaxhighlight> unless |{{#if:nopp|nopp=}}y{{#if: | or work (or an alias) is defined}}.
  • OR: pages: A range of pages in the source that supports the content. Use either |{{#if:page|page=}} or |{{#if:pages|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 by <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="none">pp.</syntaxhighlight> unless |{{#if:nopp|nopp=}}y{{#if: | or work (or an alias) is defined}}. {{#if: yes|Hyphens are automatically converted to en dashes; if hyphens are appropriate, for example: pp. 3-1–3-15, use |{{#if:at|at=}}.}}
    • nopp: Set to y to suppress the <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="none">p.</syntaxhighlight> or <syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="none">pp.</syntaxhighlight> notations where this is inappropriate; for example, where |{{#if:page|page=}}Front cover.
  • OR: at: For sources where a page number is inappropriate or insufficient. Overridden by |{{#if:page|page=}} or |{{#if:pages|pages=}}. Use only one of |{{#if:page|page=}}, |{{#if:pages|pages=}}, or |{{#if:at|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. #ixzz2rBr3aO94 or ?utm_source=google&utm_medium=...&utm_term=...&utm_campaign=.... Do not link to any commercial booksellers, such as Amazon.com. See: WP:PAGELINKS.
    • accessdate: Full date when the contents pointed to by url was last verified to support the text in the article; do not wikilink; requires url; use the same format as other access and archive dates in the citations.[date 1]{{#if:|:}}{{#if:|[date 2]{{#if:|:}}{{#if:|[date 3]{{#if:|:}}{{#if:|[date 4]{{#if:|:}}{{#if:|[date 5]{{#if:|:}}{{#if:|[date 6]{{#if:|:}}{{#if:|[date 7]{{#if:|:}}{{#if:|[date 8]{{#if:|:}}{{#if:|[date 9]{{#if:|:}}{{#if:|The template only supports up to 9 references (edit it!).}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Not required for linked documents that do not change. For example, accessdate is not required for links to copies of published research papers accessed via DOI or a published book, but is required for links to news articles on commercial sites (these are changed from time to time, even if also published in a physical media). Note that accessdate is the date that the URL was checked to not only be working, but to support the assertion being cited (which the current version of the page may not do). 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: Wikipedia:Using WebCite) and Internet Archive (see: Wikipedia: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.[date 1]{{#if:|:}}{{#if:|[date 2]{{#if:|:}}{{#if:|[date 3]{{#if:|:}}{{#if:|[date 4]{{#if:|:}}{{#if:|[date 5]{{#if:|:}}{{#if:|[date 6]{{#if:|:}}{{#if:|[date 7]{{#if:|:}}{{#if:|[date 8]{{#if:|:}}{{#if:|[date 9]{{#if:|:}}{{#if:|The template only supports up to 9 references (edit it!).}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Do not wikilink.
      • deadurl: When the URL is still live, but pre-emptively archived, then set |{{#if:deadurl|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 |{{#if:template doc demo|template doc demo=}}true to 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:// and https:// will be supported by all browsers; however, ftp://, gopher://, irc://, ircs://, mailto: and news: 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 %7b %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.

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. In general, the parameters should include only the variable part of the identifier, e.g. rfc=822 or pmc=345678.

  • arxiv: arXiv identifier; for example: arxiv=hep-th/9205027 (before April 2007) or arxiv=0706.0001 (since April 2007). Do not include extraneous file extensions like ".pdf" or ".html".
  • asin: Amazon Standard Identification Number; if first character of asin value is a digit, use isbn.
    • asin-tld: ASIN top-level domain for Amazon sites other than the US; valid values: {{#if:yes|au, br, }} ca, cn, co.jp, co.uk, de, es, fr, it{{#if:yes|, mx}}
  • 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 (<syntaxhighlight lang="text" enclose="none">10.</syntaxhighlight>).
    • doi_brokendate: Date the DOI was found to be non-working at http://dx.doi.org. Use the same format as other dates in the article. Alias: doi-broken-date
  • 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 ISBN actually printed on or in the book. Use the 13-digit ISBN – beginning with 978 or 979 – when it is available. If only a 10-digit ISBN is printed on or in the book, use it. ISBNs can be found on the page with the publisher's information – usually the back of the title page – or 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 |{{#if:isbn|isbn=}}0-902888-45-5. Do not convert a 10-digit ISBN to 13-digit by just adding the 978 prefix; the last digit is a calculated check digit and just making changes to the numbers will make the ISBN invalid. This parameter should hold only the ISBN without any additional characters. It is checked for length, invalid characters – anything other than numbers, spaces, and hyphens, with "X" permitted as the last character in a 10-digit ISBN – 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. When present, alphabetic prefix characters are to be lower case.{{#if:yes|| A certain amount of reformatting may be necessary, such as the use of one or more zeroes instead of a hyphen; for example, if the book shows "Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 89-61500", this would be entered as |{{#if:lccn|lccn=}}89061500.

  • mr: Mathematical Reviews
  • oclc: OCLC
  • ol: Open Library identifier; do not include "OL" in the value.
  • osti: Office of Scientific and Technical Information
