Citation Guidelines

All ANFApedia articles must use proper citation and follow citation guidelines. For your convenience, ANFApedia's platform, MediaWIki, contains multiple citation templates (e.g. for journal articles, books, etc.) that help facilitate adding citations to your article.

Below, under "Citation Types", is an example of inline citation, cited from Wikipedia. This is an overview of the different citation types supported by the platform. Note the superscript, "1". At the bottom of this page, you will find the references section, where the citation information will be found at the number corresponding to the superscript.

Citation Types

• An inline citation means any citation added close to the material it supports, for example after the sentence or paragraph, normally in the form of a footnote.
• In-text attribution involves adding the source of a statement to the article text, such as Rawls argues that X.^[5] This is done whenever a writer or speaker should be credited, such as with quotations, close paraphrasing, or statements of opinion or uncertain fact. The in-text attribution does not give full details of the source – this is done in a footnote in the normal way. See In-text attribution below.
• A general reference is a citation that supports content, but is not linked to any particular piece of material in the article through an inline citation. General references are usually listed at the end of the article in a References section. They are usually found in underdeveloped articles, especially when all article content is supported by a single source. They may also be listed in more developed articles as a supplement to inline citations.

Please refer to the Wikipedia page on citation types for a full overview of how each type should be used.
