Manifold Atlas: References

1 The bibliography

If the reference you need is already in the bibliography then you can simply cite it as explained below.

If you need to create a new reference there are two possibilities.

• If the work to be referred to is reviewed at either MathSciNet or Zentralblat or if it is stored on the arXiv then you can create the reference automatically.
• In general you can create a reference by hand starting from the create box at the top of the Biblography page:
  • in this case please read the bibliographic conventions 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 $n$${{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.

... {{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}}.

2.1 Open references

If you type a reference, e.g. {{cite|Milnor1957}} into a page containing the {{#RefList:}} command and the reference you tyep is not in the bibliography into a page containing the command then the following occurs.

• The reference will appear as a blue link in your text and
• The reference will appear as an open link in the Reference section:
  • if you do not have time to create a reference, this is acceptable Atlas-practice for referencing in the short-term provided the reference name is correctly formed.

3 The Reference section

• All pages which cite references should finish with a section entitled References.
• It is best to generate the reference list automatically : simply place the following command as the sole text in the Reference section:

{{#RefList:}}

3.1 External references

You may also wish to add a section for External references, e.g. External references.

• Please place the External references section immediately before the References section.
• External references need to be added by hand in the usual way as links to external URLs.

4 Creating new references

• You can create new references 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.

• Make sure that the source-code for the reference concludes with the text: <noinclude>[[Category:Bibliography]]</noinclude>.
