Manifold Atlas:References

Revision as of 19:14, 1 March 2010

1 The bibliography

• If the reference you need is already in the bibliography then you can simply cite it as explained below.
• If not, you can create a new reference at the bibliography page as explained below.

2 Citing references

• To cite a document simply type {{cite|Author&...&AuthorYear}}.
• The convention for citation names in the Manifold Atlas is:
  • full author family names separated by & and followed by the date of publication.
• An example citation with generating text is:

The group of homotopy ${{DISPLAYTITLE:{{NAMESPACE}}: {{PAGENAME}}}} <!--The wiki software does not provide a dedicated bibliography or reference sytem. As long as there is no simple and satisfying solution availble, we ask authors to adhere to the following steps in order to create references.--> <!--The atlas does not yet provide a dedicated bibliography. For the present we ask authors to create references as follows.--> == The bibliography == * If the reference you need is already in the [[Manifold Atlas:Bibliography|bibliography]] then you can simply [[Manifold Atlas:References#Citing references|cite it]] as explained below. * If not, you can [[Manifold Atlas:Bibliography|create a new reference]] at the bibliography page as explained [[Manifold Atlas:References#Creating new references|below]]. == Citing references == *To '''cite''' a document simply type <tt><nowiki>\cite{Author&...&AuthorYear}</nowiki></tt>. * The convention for '''citation names''' in the Manifold Atlas is: ** '''full author family names''' separated by '''&''' and followed by the '''date of publication'''. *An example citation with generating text is: <wikitex><blockquote>The group of homotopy $n$-spheres is finite for $n \neq 3$ {{cite|Kervaire&Milnor1963}}.</blockquote></wikitex> <pre style="white-space:normal;"> ... \cite{Kervaire&Milnor1963}. </pre> <!--The group of homotopy $n$-spheres is finite for $n \neq 3$--> *To refer to a specific part of a source type <tt><nowiki>{{cite|reference|part}}</nowiki></tt>. For example: <wikitex><blockquote>Simply connected, smooth 5-dimensional h-cobordisms are homeomorphic to products {{cite|Freedman1982|Theorem 1.3}}. </blockquote></wikitex> <pre style="white-space:normal;"> ... \cite{Freedman1982|Theorem 1.3}. </pre> <!-- Simply connected, smooth 5-dimensional h-cobordisms are homeomorphic to products --> == The reference section == * The reference list is '''automatically generated'''.

... {{cite|Kervaire&Milnor1963}}.

• To refer to a specific part of a source type {{cite|reference|part}}. For example:

Simply connected, smooth 5-dimensional h-cobordisms are homeomorphic to products [Freedman1982, Theorem 1.3].

... {{cite|Freedman1982|Theorem 1.3}}.

3 The reference section

• The reference list is automatically generated. Please create a section entitlded References at the end of each page containing the following command

{{#RefList:}}

4 Creating new references

• If the document for the reference is reviewed on MathSciNet or stored on the arXiv then you can generate a reference to it automatically.

• You can create new references by hand in the box at the top of the bibliography page:
  • Type the author names(s) followed by the publication year of the article into the box:
  • e.g. Freedman1982 or Kervaire&Milnor1963.
  • You will arrive at a new template page for the reference: follow the instructions in the template using the conventions below.

5 Bibliographic conventions

• When creating a reference, please follow the conventions established by the following examples: journal article, book.

• In particular, if a reference is available online please hyperlink the title of the reference to its online source.

6 Writing about references

Each reference lives on its own template page. This page can contain further mathematical comments on the work cited:

• ensure that further writing appears inside the command <noinclude> ... </noinclude>:
  • see for example [Adams1966].

There is also a discussion page if you wish to make less formal points about the work or to open a discussion about the work.

If you know of corrections to statements in a work, please create a section

• == Corrections ==

and add your corrections. Where possible give references to the literature for corrections and only include corrections of which you are 100% certain. If there is no reference, please give an argument for your correction. If you are unsure about a point, raise it in a Comments section or on the discussion page.

If you wish to make some general comments on the work cited, please create a section

• == Comments ==

and make your comments.
