This template was established specifically for the Biology in elementary schools project and is reflected on several discussion pages aimed at students in that group to provide rapid feedback. Before editing this template please contact user:dmccabe; I'll be more than happy to set up similar templates for use by others.

Formatting citations

To insure that a reader can reliably track down the specific book or article you intended, it is useful to provide the following information:

  • Author(s) (last name followed by first initials; secondary authors: initials followed by last name); year; Book title or article title; publisher (for books) or Periodical title (for articles); volume and page numbers (both for articles)

Formatted examples:

  • Brown, M.W. and C. Hurd. 1947. Goodnight Moon. Harper.
  • Bentley, W.A. 1905. Studies of raindrops and raindrop phenomena. Monthly weather review. 32. 450
