1 The bibliography

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 n-spheres is finite for n \neq 3 [Kervaire&Milnor1963].
The group of homotopy $n$-spheres is finite for $n \neq 3$ {{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].
Simply connected, smooth 5-dimensional h-cobordisms are homeomorphic to products {{cite|Freedman1982|Theorem 1.3}}.

3 The reference section

  • The reference section of an article is automatically generated by placing the following text at the end of each article.
==<sectioncount/> References ==
{{#RefList:}}

4 Creating new references

  • 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.
