Template:Citation

Usage

This template can be used to create references using the Harvard system for both books and journals. To use the template copy the code below. You only need to include the variables that you are using.

Authors

The first name being referenced should always by 'initiallast' and 'initialfirst' and the last name being referenced should always be 'finallast' and 'finalfirst'. Therefore:

• A single author book/journal would include 'initiallast' and 'initialfirst'
• A book with two authors would include 'initiallast', 'initialfirst', 'finallast' and 'finalfirst
• A book with several authors would be 'initiallast', 'initialfirst', '2last', '2first' ... 'finallast' and 'finalfirst

Book and journals

• Books will use the parameters 'city' and 'pub'
• Journals use the parameters 'jor' and 'vol'

The template

{{citation
|initiallast = 
|initialfirst = 
|2last =
|2first =
|3last =
|3first =
|4last =
|4first =
|5last =
|5first =
|6last =
|6first =
|finallast =
|finalfirst =
|year = 
|title = 
|ed = 
|city = 
|pub =
|jor = 
|vol =  
|range = 
}} 

NB: Template can be used in a single line to save space:

• {{citation |initiallast = |initialfirst = |2last = |2first = |3last = |3first = |4last = |4first = |5last = |5first = |6last = |6first = |finallast = |finalfirst = |year = |title = |ed = |city = |pub = |jor = |vol = |range = }}

Example

For a single author with no page reference:

{{citation
|initiallast = Tizard
|initialfirst = I
|year = 2004
|title = Veterinary Immunology: An Introduction
|ed = 7th ed.
|city = Philadelphia
|pub = Saunders
|range = 23-35
}}

Gives:

Tizard, I. (2004) Veterinary Immunology: An Introduction. 7th ed. ed. Philadelphia: Saunders.

For several authors with page reference:

{{citation
|initiallast = Janeway
|initialfirst = C
|2last = Travers
|2first = P
|3last = Walport
|3first = M
|finallast = Sholmchik
|finalfirst = M
|year = 2005
|title = Immunobiology: The immune system in health and disease
|ed = 6th ed.
|city = New York
|pub = Garland Science Publishing
|range = 1-35
}}

Gives:

Janeway, C., Travers, P., Walport, M. and Sholmchik, M. (2005) Immunobiology: The immune system in health and disease. 6th ed. ed. New York: Garland Science Publishing. pp.1-35.

For journals:

{{citation
|initiallast = Metcalfe
|initialfirst = D.D
|2last = Baram
|2first = D
|finallast = Mekori
|finalfirst = Y
|year = 1997
|title = Mast Cells
|jor = Physiological Reviews
|vol = 77(4)
|range = 1033-1064
}}

Gives:

Metcalfe, D.D., Baram, D. and Mekori, Y. (1997) Mast Cells. Physiological Reviews 77(4): pp.1033-1064.
