The best way to provide sources is by uploading them into the page. If this is not possible then an outside link is a good option and failing that using a citation.

Citations on this website are provided using the semantic Cite tool. We have provided templates for:

  • article
  • journal
  • encyclopedia
  • conference
  • book
  • web
  • news

The format is to use the Citation reference (or its alias CiteRef) property. For example, a simple in-text annotation is created by ‎[[CiteRef::Byrne 2008]]. To create the reference you use the {{#scite:Byrne 2008}} parser as follows.

{{#scite:Byrne 2008
 |type=journal
 |author=Byrne, A
 |year=2008
 |title=Web 2.0 strategies in libraries and information services
 |journal=The Australian Library Journal
 |volume=57
 |number=4
 |pages=365-376
}}

{{#scite:Byrne 2008

|type=journal
|author=Byrne, A
|year=2008
|title=Web 2.0 strategies in libraries and information services
|journal=The Australian Library Journal
|volume=57
|number=4
|pages=365-376

}}

This results in a referenceByrne 2008 number in the text where the CitRef is used and a citation at the bottom of the page.
