Citation Examples

CiteProc XHTML Output

Wikipedia
Wikipedia makes extensive use of bibliographic citations, in particular to point readings to further inforamtion sources. The kinds of citations used on the site run the full gamut; from scientific articles published in journals, to legal cases, to conference presentations, to weblog posts, to primary historical sources.
Self-Citation Example
One example of an article that includes a statement "please cite as" (a self-description):
- title
- author
- periodical (journal) title
- volume
- issue

These are sort of left overs, the are not really about citations, but more about commerce or other things. If they are important we can move them to the above list.
- refID (HTML @ID)
- Reviewed (BOOLEAN YES/NO)
- Availability
- Price
- Shipping Weight
- related
- Product number (internal system code)
- BookCode (internal system code)

Analysis of Examples
With exception of just a few properties, all of the above appeared in atleast two different examples. The following properties were very common in most the example formats:
- title
- subtitle
- author
- publication date
- description
- pages
- ISBN
- publisher
Styles
This does NOT define a format, but instead shows how the format should be displayed. This is something out of the direct scope of this project. CSS styles will handle the look-and-feel of the text, and the author can put it in any order they choose. These links are mentioned for two reasons, one is informative, the other is so we know at least meet the minimum properties that are used in the styles.
- MLA Style
- Chicago, MLA, and APA styles
- Writer's Workshop citation style page (detailed citation style info)
- Blue Book for legal citations
- Columbia University Citation Style developed for modern internet citations
