This Citation Style 1 template is used to create citations for sources identified by an SSRN identifier.

Usage

Copy a blank version to use. Almost all parameter names are supported only in lower case (some initialisms, such as |isbn=, have upper-case aliases like |ISBN= which are acceptable for use). Use the | (vertical bar or "pipe") character between each parameter. Unused parameters may be deleted to avoid clutter in the edit window. Some samples on this documentation page may include the current date; if the date is not current, then the page.

Parameters

Syntax

Nested parameters rely on their parent parameters:

• parent
• OR: parent2—may be used instead of parent
  • child—may be used with parent (and is ignored if parent is not used)
  • OR: child2—may be used instead of child (and is ignored if parent2 is not used)

Where aliases are listed, only one of the parameters may be defined; if multiple aliased parameters are defined, then only one will show.

By default, sets of fields are terminated with a full stop . or "period."

COinS

This template embeds COinS metadata in the HTML output, allowing reference management software to retrieve bibliographic metadata. (See Wikipedia:COinS) As a general rule, supply only one data item per parameter and do not include explanatory or alternate text.

• Use |date=September 27, 2007, not |date=September 27, 2007 (print version September 25, 2007).

Use of other templates as parameter values for {{Citation}}-family templates is discouraged because many of them add supplementary HTML or CSS code that will be included verbatim in the COinS metadata. Also, HTML entities such as  , –, or   should not be used in parameters that contribute to the metadata.

COinS metadata is created for these parameters

Note: This table of metadata is displayed in the documentation of all Citation Style 1 templates. Not all of these parameters are supported by every CS1 template. Some of these parameters are mutually exclusive while other are aliases of another parameter, and some require other parameters to be present. A full list of this template's supported parameters, its aliases and their dependencies is shown in the § Usage section near the top of this documentation page.

Description

Authors

• last: Surname of a single author; do not wikilink—use author-link instead. Use this or one of its aliases for corporate authors or those for whom only one name is listed by the source (e.g. |author=Bono). Aliases: surname, author, lastn, surnamen, authorn.
  • author: The name of an organizational author (e.g. a committee) or the complete name (given names and surname) of a single person; for the latter, prefer the use of first and last. This parameter should never hold the information of more than a single author. Supports accept-this-as-written markup. Do not use italics in this field, as doing so produces corrupt metadata.
  • first: Given or first names of a single author, as in Firstname Middlename or Firstname M. or Firstname M. Sr.; do not wikilink—use author-link instead. Requires last, first name will not display if last is undefined. Aliases: given, firstn, givenn.
  • For multiple authors use last1, first1 through lastn, firstn, where n is any consecutive number for an unlimited number of authors (each firstn requires a corresponding lastn, but not the other way around. See the display parameters to change how many authors are displayed.) Aliases: surname1, given1 through surnamen, givenn, or author1 through authorn. For an individual author along with an institutional author, you can use |first1=…, |last1=… and |author2=….
  • author-link: Title of existing Wikipedia article about the author—not the author's website; do not wikilink. Aliases: author-link1, author1-link, authorlink.
    • For multiple authors use author-link1 through author-linkn. Aliases: author1-link through authorn-link.
  • name-list-style: One of the following keywords:
    • amp, ampersand or &: Inserts an ampersand between the last two entries in the list of names.
    • and: Inserts the conjunction 'and' between the last two entries in the list of names.
    • vanc: Displays listed names in Vancouver style when the lists use the last/first forms of the author name parameters.
• vauthors: A comma-delimited list of author names in Vancouver style; enclose corporate or institutional author names in doubled parentheses and conclude with "et al." if appropriate (e.g. |vauthors=Smythe JB, ((Megabux Corp.)), et al.).
  • author-link and author-mask: Used for the individual names in |vauthors= as described above.
• collaboration: The name of a group of authors or collaborators; requires author, last or vauthors listing one or more primary authors; follows author name-list, appending "et al." when needed.
• Note: When using {{Sfnote}} or {{Paren}} styles with templates do not use multiple names in one field, or else the anchor will not match the inline link.

Title

See also: Help:Citation Style 1 § Titles and chapters

• title: The title of the source page, displays in quotation marks. For titles containing quotation marks, convert double quotation marks (") to single quotation marks ('). If script-title is defined, use title to hold a Romanization (if available) of the title in script-title.
  • script-title: The original title, for languages that do not use a Latin-alphabet script (Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, etc.); follows Romanization defined in title (if present). Must be prefixed with one of the supported language codes to help browsers properly display the script:

    …|title=Tōkyō tawā|script-title=ja:東京タワー|trans-title=Tokyo Tower…

  • trans-title: The English translation of the title, if the source cited is in a foreign language; displays in square brackets after title with trans-title included in the link. Use of the language parameter is recommended.

Titles containing certain characters will display and link incorrectly unless those characters are encoded.

newline	[	]	|
space	[	]	|
	{{Bracket|text}}		{{Pipe}} – See also Help:Table § Rendering pipe itself.

This parameter is required and will generate an error if not defined. On errors, Main, Help and Template namespace pages are placed into Category:Articles with incorrect citation syntax. Set |no-tracking=true to disable categorization; mainly used for in-place documentation where the error is demonstrated.

• website: The title of the hosting website of the source (when the website has a clear name, use that rather than the domain name), shown in italics; may be wikilinked. Aliases: work.

• type: Provides additional information about the media type of the source displayed in parentheses following the title; may alternatively be used to identify the type of manuscript linked to in the title, if not the manuscript's final version (e.g. if a preprint of a manuscript is freely available, but the version of record is behind a paywall). Format in sentence case. The reserved keyword |type=none can be used to disable the display of a type, if desired. Examples: Thesis, Booklet, Accepted manuscript, CD liner, Press release. Alias: medium.

• language: The language or a comma-delimited list of the languages in which the source is written, as either the ISO 639 language code(s) (preferred) or the full language name, displayed in parentheses after the title with "in" before the language name or names. Examples: |language=ru; |lang=fr, pt-PT; |lang=Russian; |language=French, Portuguese. See the list of supported codes and names. Do not use templates or wikilinks. When the only source language is English, no language is displayed in the citation. The use of languages recognized by the Citation module adds the page to the appropriate subcategory of Category:CS1 foreign language sources. Aliases: lang

Date

• date: The date of the referenced source, displayed after the authors enclosed in parentheses; can be a full date (month, day and year) or partial (month and year, season and year, or year). Use same format as other publication dates in the citations and do not wikilink. If there is no author, then displays after the website and publisher. For acceptable date formats, see Help:Citation Style 1 § Dates.

Shortened footnotes target full citations using the year specified in this parameter. A lowercase letter may be suffixed to the year to disambiguate {{Sfn}} links to multiple works by the same author in the same year^[more], unless the date is formatted as YYYY-MM-DD. In the latter case, year or ref is required to disambiguate the link targets.

For no date, or "undated", use |date=n.d., and for approximate years precede with "c. ", as in |date=c. 1900.

The date of a web page, PDF, etc. with no visible date can sometimes be established by searching the page source or document code for a created or updated date; a comment for editors such as |date=2021-12-25<!-- Date from page source. -->|orig-date=Original date 2011-01-01 can be added.

• year: The year of publication, however the more flexible date parameter detailed above also handles a year by itself. Do not use in combination with the |date= parameter, unless both of the following conditions are met:
  1. Shortened footnotes target multiple citations with same last name and year of publication. This situation warrants a citation reference anchor disambiguator, usually a lowercase letter suffixed to the year.)
  2. The |date= value is formatted as YYYY-MM-DD, which prevents the addition of a disambiguating letter to the year.
• df: The date format for rendered dates; does not support date ranges or seasonal dates and overrides the automatic date formatting described above. Accepts one keyword value which may be one of:
  • mdy – Set publication dates to month day, year format; access- and archive-dates are not modified
  • dmy – As above for day month year format
  • ymd – As above for year-first numeric format YYYY-MM-DD
  • mdy-all – Set publication, access- and archive-dates to month day, year format
  • dmy-all – As above for day month year format
  • ymd-all – As above for year-first numeric format YYYY-MM-DD

In-source locations

• page: The number of a single page in the source that supports the content, shown preceded by p. unless |no-pp=yes; use either page or pages, but not both. If hyphenated, use {{Hyphen}} to indicate this is intentional (e.g. |page=3{{Hyphen}}12), otherwise several editors and semi-automated tools will assume this was a misuse of the parameter to indicate a page range and will convert |page=3-12 to |pages=3{{Ndash}}12. Alias: p.
• pages: A range of pages in the source that supports the content, shown preceded by pp. unless |no-pp=yes; use either page or pages, but not both. Separate sequential pages using an en dash (–) and non-sequential pages with a comma (,); do not use to indicate the total number of pages in the source. If hyphens are appropriate because individual page numbers contain hyphens, for example: pp. 3-1–3-15, use double parentheses to tell the template to display the value without processing it and {{Hyphen}} to indicate to other editors that a hyphen is really intended, as in |pages=((3{{Hyphen}}1{{Ndash}}3{{Hyphen}}15)). Alternatively, use at, like this: |at=pp. 3-1–3-15. Alias: pp.
  • no-pp: Set to yes, y, or true to suppress the "p." or "pp." page notations where inappropriate; for example, where |page=Front cover or |pages=passim.
• at: For sources where a page number is inappropriate or insufficient; overridden by page or pages. Use only one of page, pages or at'.

  Examples: page (p.) or pages (pp.); section (sec.), column (col.), paragraph (para.); track; hours, minutes and seconds; act, scene; canto; book; part; folio; stanza; back cover; liner notes; indicia; colophon; dust jacket; verse.

• For quote-page and quote-pages (used in conjunction with quote), see here.

Anchor

• ref: The citation's HTML anchor identifier. When set, |ref=ID generates a custom anchor with the given ID (the id= attribute in the citation's <cite id="ID"> HTML tag) and identifies the template as a target and allows wikilinking to full references, which is especially useful with short-form citations like shortened notes and parenthetical referencing. The default anchor ID is suitable for use with {{Sfn}} and {{Harvard citation}} templates. To inhibit anchor ID creation altogether, set |ref=none. The parameter/keyword pair |ref=harv no longer holds any special meaning; this deprecated setting should not be used and may be removed from existing CS1 & CS2 templates. Aliases: none. (See Template:Citation/doc § Anchors for Harvard referencing templates.)

Identifiers

The following identifiers create links and are designed to accept a single value. Using multiple values or other text will break the link and/or invalidate the identifier. In general, the parameters should include only the variable part of the identifier, e.g. |rfc=822 or |pmc=345678.

• arxiv: An arXiv document identifier, for example: |arxiv=hep-th/9205027 (pre-April 2007) or |arxiv=0706.0001 (April 2007 – December 2014) or |arxiv=1501.00001 (since January 2015). Do not include extraneous file extensions like ".pdf" or ".html". Aliases: eprint.
• asin: An Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN); if the first character is a digit, use isbn instead. Example: |asin=B00005N5PF. Aliases: ASIN.
  • asin-tld: The top-level domain for Amazon sites used to resolve the asin value (other than the US); valid values are: ae (United Arab Emirates), au (Australia), br (Brazil), ca (Canada), cn (People's Republic of China), de (Germany), es (Spain), fr (France), in (India), it (Italy), jp (Japan), mx (Mexico), nl (the Netherlands), pl (Poland), sa (Saudi Arabia), se (Sweden), sg (Singapore), tr (Turkey), uk (United Kingdom). Aliases: none.
• bibcode: A Bibcode reference identifier, used by a number of astronomical data systems. Example: |bibcode=1974AJ.....79..819H. Aliases: none.
• biorxiv: A bioRxiv ("Bio Archive") ID, as in the entire DOI. Example: |biorxiv=10.1101/078733 for https://biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/10/01/078733 or |biorxiv=10.1101/2020.07.24.220400 for https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.07.24.220400. Aliases: none.
• citeseerx: A CiteSeerX ID, the string of digits and dots found in a CiteSeerX URL. Example: |citeseerx=10.1.1.176.341 for https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.176.341. Aliases: none.
• doi: A digital object identifier (DOI). Example: |doi=10.1038/news070508-7. It must begins with 10. to successfully pass validation. Aliases: DOI.
  • Supports accept-this-as-written markup to bypass the validation process for DOIs using a non-standard format.
  • doi-broken-date: The date a valid DOI was found to be non-working or inactive at https://doi.org/; use the same format as other dates in the article. Aliases: none.
• eissn: An International Standard Serial Number for the electronic media (eISSN) of a serial publication, consisting of eight characters that may be split into two groups of four using a hyphen, but not an en dash or a space. Example: |eissn=1557-2986. Aliases: EISSN.
  • Supports accept-this-as-written markup to bypass the validation process for eISSNs using a non-standard format.
• hdl: A Handle System identifier for digital objects and other resources on the Internet. Example: |hdl=20.1000/100. Aliases: HDL.
• isbn: An International Standard Book Number (ISBN); use the code actually printed on or in the book, giving preference to the newer 13-digit format beginning with 978/979 when it is available, though the older 10-digit format still generates valid links if that is the only one present. Do not convert a 10-digit code to the 13-digit format just by adding the 978 prefix; the terminal digit is a calculated checksum and making changes to the numbers will make the code invalid. Hyphens in the ISBN are optional, but preferred. ISBNs can be found on the page with the publisher's information—usually the back of the title page—or beneath the barcode as a number beginning with 978 or 979 (barcodes beginning with any other numbers are not ISBNs). (See WP:ISBN and ISBN § Overview.) For sources with the even older 9-digit Standard Book Number (SBN) codes, use sbn. This parameter should hold only the ISBN, without any additional information; it is checked for length and invalid characters: anything other than numbers, spaces and hyphens, with "X" permitted as the last character for the 10-digit format or the proper check digit. Example: |isbn=978-0-8126-9593-9. Aliases: ISBN.
  • Use the {{Format ISBN}} template within the parameter – in the form |isbn={{Format ISBN|9780812695939}} – if you are unsure of how any particular value should be hyphenated, as the pattern varies by country and publisher.
  • Supports accept-this-as-written markup to bypass the validation process for ISBNs using a non-standard format.
• ismn: An International Standard Music Number (ISMN); use the ISMN actually printed on or in the work, hyphens or spaces are optional. This parameter should hold only the ISMN code without any additional information; it is checked for length and invalid characters: anything other than numbers, spaces and hyphens, and the proper check digit. Example: |ismn=979-0-9016791-7-7. Aliases: ISMN.
• issn: An International Standard Serial Number (ISSN), consisting of eight characters which may be split into two groups of four using a hyphen, but not an en dash or a space. Example: |issn=2049-3630. Aliases: ISSN.
  • Supports accept-this-as-written markup to bypass the validation process for ISSNs using a non-standard format.
• jfm: A Jahrbuch über die Fortschritte der Mathematik identifier (German for 'Yearbook on the Progress of Mathematics'); do not include "JFM" in the value. Example: |jfm=53.0144.01. Aliases: JFM.
• jstor: A Journal Storage (JSTOR) reference number. Example: |jstor=3793107. Aliases: JSTOR.
• lccn: A Library of Congress Control Number (LCCN); when present, alphabetic prefix characters are to be lower case and without a space. Examples: |lccn=79-57364, |lccn=2004042477, |lccn=e09001178. Aliases: LCCN.
• mr: A Mathematical Reviews (MR) identifier. Example: |mr=630583. Aliases: MR.
• oclc: An OCLC Control Number (OCN) for looking up publications in the WorldCat union catalog. Example: |oclc=9355469. Aliases: OCLC.
• ol: An Open Library (OL) identifier; do not include "OL" in the value. Example: |ol=7030731M. Aliases: OL.
• osti: An Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) identifier. Example: |osti=4367507. Aliases: OSTI.
• pmc: A PubMed Central (PMC) identifier; use article number for open repository full-text of a journal article and do not include "PMC" in the value. (Also see the pmid parameter; these are two distinct identifiers.) Example: |pmc=345678. Aliases: PMC.
  • pmc-embargo-date: The date that the PubMed Central identifier specified in pmc goes live; if this date is in the future, then the pmc link is not displayed until that date. Aliases: none.
• pmid: A PubMed unique identifier. (Also see the pmc parameter; these are two distinct identifiers.) Example: |pmid=17322060. Aliases: PMID.
• rfc: An IETF Request for Comments (RFC) number. Example: |rfc=3143. Aliases: RFC.
• sbn: A Standard Book Number (SBN) code consisting of nine digits, optionally formatted using hyphens or spaces. Do not include "SBN" in the value. Example: |sbn=356-02201-3. Aliases: SBN.
  • Supports accept-this-as-written markup to bypass the validation process for SBNs using a non-standard format.
• ssrn: A Social Science Research Network (SSRN) numeric identifier. Example: |ssrn=1900856. Aliases: SSRN.
• s2cid: A Semantic Scholar corpus ID. Example: |s2cid=37220927. Aliases: S2CID.
• zbl: A zbMATH Open (formerly Zentralblatt MATH) document ID code. For zbMATH search results like JFM 35.0387.02, use |jfm=35.0387.02 instead. Example: |zbl=0472.53010. Aliases: ZBL.

In very rare cases, identifiers are published which do not follow their defined standard format, or use non-conforming checksums, which would typically cause an error message to be shown by the CS1 & CS2 template families. If you encounter such a situation, do not alter them to match a different checksum. In order to suppress the error message, some identifiers (doi, eissn, isbn, issn and sbn) support a special accept-this-as-written markup which can be applied to disable the templates' error-checking function (as |<param>=((<value>))). However, if the problem is down to a mere typographical error in a third-party source, correct the identifier value instead of overriding the error message.

For some identifiers, it is possible to specify the access status using the corresponding |<param>-access= parameter.

For {{Cite journal}}, some identifiers (specifying free resources) will automatically be linked to the title when the url and title-link parameters are not present to explicitly define a link target. This behaviour can be overridden by one of a number of special keywords for the title-link parameter to manually select a specific source (such as |title-link=pmc or |title-link=doi) for auto-linking, or to disable the feature (with |title-link=none).

It is not necessary to specify a URL to a link identical to a link also produced by an identifier. The url parameter (or title-link) can then be used for providing a direct deep link to the corresponding document, or a convenience link to a resource that would not otherwise be obviously accessible.

Quote

• quote: A relevant text snippet quoted from the source, displayed enclosed in double quotation marks. When supplied, the citation terminator (a full stop . or "period" by default) is suppressed, so the quote must include terminating punctuation. If script-quote is defined, use quote to hold a Romanization (if available) of the text in script-quote.
  • script-quote: The original quotation supplied to quote, for languages that do not use a Latin-based script (Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, etc.), shown unitalicized following the italicized Romanization defined in quote (if available). Must be prefixed with one of the supported language codes to help browsers properly display the script. Alias: none.

    …|quote=Tōkyō tawā|script-quote=ja:東京タワー|trans-quote=Tokyo Tower…

  • trans-quote: The English translation of the quotation, if the source quoted is in a foreign language, displayed enclosed by square brackets. Alias: none.
• quote-page: The number of a single page quoted in quote; use either quote-page or quote-pages, but not both. This should be a subset of the page(s) specified in page, pages or at. Shown preceded by p., unless |no-pp=yes is specified. If hyphenated, use {{Hyphen}} to indicate this is intentional (e.g. |quote-page=3{{Hyphen}}12). Alias: none.
• quote-pages: A list or range of pages quoted in quote; use either quote-page or quote-pages, but not both. This should be a subset of the pages specified in pages or at. Use an en dash (–) to indicate the page range, separating non-sequential pages with a comma ,. Output is preceded by pp. unless |no-pp=yes is defined. Hyphens are automatically converted to en dashes; if hyphens are appropriate because individual page numbers contain hyphens, such as: pp. 3-1–3-15, use doubled parentheses to force the template to display the value of quote-pages without processing it, and use {{Hyphen}} to indicate to other editors that a hyphen is really intended, as in: |quote-pages=((3{{Hyphen}}1{{Ndash}}3{{Hyphen}}15)). Alias: none.

Display options

• mode: Sets the element separator, default terminal punctuation and certain capitalization choices. For |mode=cs1 the element separator and terminal punctuation is a full stop (.) or "period" and where appropriate, initial letters of certain words are capitalized ('Retrieved…'); for |mode=cs2 the element separator is a comma (,), terminal punctuation is omitted, and where appropriate, initial letters of certain words are not capitalized ('retrieved…'). These styles correspond to Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, respectively. To override default terminal punctuation only, use the postscript parameter.
• author-mask, contributor-mask, editor-mask, interviewer-mask, subject-mask and translator-mask: Replaces the name of the (first) author with em dashes or text. Set <name>-mask to a numeric value n to set the dash n em spaces wide and/or set <name>-mask to a text value to display the text without a trailing author separator, such as "with". The numeric value 0 is a special case to be used in conjunction with <name>-link—in this case, the value of <name>-link will be used as (linked) text. In either case, you must still include the values listing the names for all associated people/entities for metadata purposes. This parameter is primarily intended for use with bibliographies, especially when styled so multiple works by a single author are listed sequentially, such as Template:Sfnote. Do not use in a list generated by {{Reflist}}, the <references /> tag or anything similar, as there is no control of the order in which references are placed. Mask parameters can take an enumerator in the name of the parameter (e.g. |authorn-mask=) to apply the mask to a specific name.
• display-authors, display-contributors, display-editors, display-interviewers, display-subjects and display-translators: Controls the number of author (or other contributor type) names that are displayed; by default, all are. To limit the number of names shown, set the parameter to the desired number, for example |display-authors=2 will display only the first two authors in a citation (and not affect the display of the other contributor types). |display-authors=0 is a special case that suppresses the display of all authors, including the et al. (|display-authors=etal displays all authors in the list followed by "et al.") Aliases: none.
• postscript: Determines the closing punctuation for a citation, defaulting to a full stop . or "period"; for no terminating punctuation, specify |postscript=none – leaving this parameter empty is the same as omitting it, but unhelpfully ambiguous to other editors. Additional text or templates that render more than a single terminating punctuation character will generate a maintenance message. This parameter is ignored if quote is defined.
