Template:Cite doi/doc

Usage
Saves you filling out a citation template every time you want to cite a source. If your source has a digital object identifier (DOI), just enter. There is no need to subst this template (so long as it matches the format of citations already in the article).

If another Wikipedia article already uses that reference (via the Cite doi template), it will automatically use the existing information to present the full citation details of the reference in the article. If not, a bot will complete it for you if you click the "jump the queue" link (the bot does not currently autofill the template).

Use like this:



To refer to the same reference elsewhere in the same article, use:



Quotes
To include a quote from the reference, just place it inside the ref tags. To include more than one quote, the name parameter must be unique for each ref tag.





Second references for each

If the quote should appear every time a reference is used, then add a quote parameter to the cite doi template.

Removing the "edit" link
If you want to remove the "edit" link that this template places, add a second parameter with the text "noedit":

Formatting
Templates produced via this template need to be formatted consistently so they match the reference formatting of all the articles they are used in. Therefore, they are formatted under the following guidelines. Please do not use the cite doi template in articles whose references are formatted differently. (You could subst: the template and change its formatting in the article, or modify the article to use this mode of formatting if appropriate).


 * Citation template:
 * Template:Cite journal (or cite book if appropriate)


 * Author formatting:
 * Smith, A. B. (not "Smith, Arthur Brown")
 * The usual guidelines for wikilinking apply: only use author1-link if the link adds value to the citation.


 * Page number formatting:
 * first and last page numbers written in full; for instance, R100–R101


 * Dates:
 * If a month or season may help locate a journal article, specify it with the date parameter (e.g. Sept 2009, Winter 1988). Do not specify a day.


 * Links:
 * The URL should point to (in descending order of preference):
 * Free access to the full text of the article on the publisher's website
 * Free full text on an author's website (if no copyright issues)
 * Free full text on an advert-supported website
 * Free proofs/drafts on an author's personal website (if no copyright issues)
 * Avoid adding links to articles located behind a paywall. The doi link itself already takes care of that.

Technical overview
The template works by transcluding a template, which is stored as Template:cite doi/anchor_encoded_version_of_DOI. This subpage is filled out by a bot using the cite journal syntax.
