Note

This template was copied and modified from the original at Wikipedia:Template:Cite journal. The quotes and curly parameters are not used in this version.

Usage

Blank template, horizontal format, common parameters only

{{cite journal | last= | first= | authorlink= | coauthors= | year= | month= | title= | journal= | volume= | issue= | pages= | id= | url= | accessdate= | quote= }}

Blank template, vertical format, with comments, all parameters

• Replace or delete any <angle-bracketed text> below when using the template in an article.
• Indented items are alternatives to the last non-indented item above them.
• doi is used in a URL to link to information at doi.org. If the document identifier has characters that need to be "percent-escaped" (such as "%26" in place of "&"), then doilabel should contain the raw, "unescaped" version.
