Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 06:08, 6 February 2008

This template is used on approximately 10,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This infobox should italicize the article title automatically. If this is not required, add |italic_title=no to the list of parameters. If this is required but the title is not being italicized, try |italic_title=force.

This template adds an automatically generated short description. If the automatic short description is not optimal, replace it by adding {{Short description}} at the top of the article.

This template uses Lua: Module:Infobox (sandbox) Module:InfoboxImage (sandbox) Module:Check for unknown parameters (sandbox)

{{Infobox journal}} can be used to display details about academic journals, as a right-aligned infobox. It can be stacked with other infoboxes. The infoboxJournal.js script can be used to easily add the infobox to articles, as well as standardize existing infoboxes. The script is in development, so make sure to review the suggested presentation before saving.

Usage

Parameters

All parameters are optional.

{{Infobox journal

|title =	Name of journal (defaults to {{PAGENAMEBASE}}).
|italic title =	Put "no" to override the italic format of the page article title. Setting to "no" also disables the automatic generation of a short description.
|image =	Image of journal's cover (e.g. abc.jpg, xpz.png, 123.gif). Does not need ] or ].
|image_size =	Size to display image. Defaults to 200px.
|alt =	Alternative text for image.
|caption =	Caption for image, if needed.
|former_name =	Any former name or names of the journal (italicized by default).
|abbreviation =	The ISO 4 abbreviation for journal. Include dots (e.g. J. Phys., not J Phys). If unset, links to find out what the ISO 4 abbreviation is will be displayed. Use |abbreviation=no to hide the field.
|discipline =	Topic of the journal.
|peer-reviewed =	Put no if journal is not peer-reviewed (in which case {{Infobox magazine}} is probably more appropriate). If the situation is complicated, put "See text" and describe it in the text. If the field is blank, omitted, or set to yes, no field is shown, and peer-review status is implied.
|language =	Language of publication if not English. Do not wikilink (per WP:MOS).
|editor =	Name of journal's editor.
|publisher =	Name of publisher. This should be the name of the entity (company, university, society) that performs the actual publishing (marketing, printing, distribution, etc), possibly followed by "on behalf of ...." if there is clear evidence that the journal is owned by another organization (usually a learned society); furthermore, in case there is clear evidence that the journal is co-owned by another organization (including the publisher itself), this information can be followed with "and ..."
|country =	Country of publication, if there is a clear national affiliation. Leave blank for international journals. Do not wikilink (per WP:MOS).
|history =	Publication history, e.g. 1869–present.
|frequency =	Frequency of publication.
|openaccess =	Availability of open-access content, with wikilinks if appropriate (put Yes if journal is completely open-access, or ] or ] if more appropriate)
|license =	License for the journal's content if the previous parameter is Yes.
|impact =	Journal's impact factor.
|impact-year =	Year impact factor above was measured, not the year it was published. E.g. the 2016 impact factor was published in 2017, so 2016 goes in the infobox.
|bluebook =	The Bluebook abbreviation for law journal.
|mathscinet =	The MathSciNet abbreviation IF different from ISO 4 abbreviation.
|nlm =	The NLM abbreviation IF different from ISO 4 abbreviation.
|bypass-rcheck =	Set to yes to bypass the built-in ISO 4 / bluebook redirect check until T14019 is resolved. This should only be used after the ISO 4 / bluebook redirects were created, not to get rid of the template messages. See Category:Infobox journals with bypassed redirect checking for more information.
|ISSNlabel =	To distinguish between ISSNs when more than one is given (use in conjunction with ISSN2label, ISSN3label, ... ISSN10label).
|ISSN =	ISSN (print edition) or eISSN if electronic-only journal. If there is more than one journal, such as in European Physical Journal, use additional ISSN2, ISSN3, ... ISSN10 parameters.
|eISSN =	Same as ISSN, but for online version of paper journals. eISSN2, eISSN3, ... eISSN10 supported.
|CODEN =	CODEN.
|coden-linkn=	Since the CODEN database linked to does not contain all CODENs ever used the link can be suppressed using |coden-linkn=no for the corresponding |CODENn=.
|JSTOR =	Journal's JSTOR number (usually its ISSN without the dash; link will be generated automatically).
|LCCN =	LCCN (link will be generated automatically).
|OCLC =	OCLC number (link will be generated automatically).
|website =	URL for journal homepage (see usage below).
|link1 =	First additional link's URL (see below).
|link1-name =	Name for first additional link (see below).
|link2 =	Second additional link's URL (see below).
|link2-name =	Name for second additional link (see below).
|boxwidth =	To set the infobox's width in exceptional circumstances. Use em (i.e. font-proportional) units, e.g. boxwidth&nbsp= 20.0em. Default is 22.0em.

}}

Usage notes

• |title= The infobox displays the journal title at the top, wrapping to keep the infobox narrow. To custom-wrap a long title, insert "<br />". Otherwise, the title will auto-wrap after all words that fit:

  | title = Canadian Journal of<br />Earth Sciences

• |language= default is "English" but it is possible to put more than one:  language=English, French (etc.)
• |website= Just put the full URL; e.g., https://www.nature.com . This field automatically displays the name "Journal homepage." If you wish to display a different name, or to include additional links, use parameters "link1" & "link1-name" ("link2" etc.). For example, to show "Online access":

  | website = https://www.nature.com
  | link1 = https://www.nature.com/nature/current_issue.html
  | link1-name = Online access

In general, any parameter can be custom-wrapped by inserting a "<br />" wherever needed.

Search links

Put .infobox-journal-search { display: inline !important;} in your CSS file (like this) to enable search links.

{{Infobox journal/Abbreviation search}}
