Citation method

  • Use any reasonable method you like. If an article is explicitly signed by authors, you also are invited to cite the authors (sorry, this is a bit of extra work).
  • To make citations easy: Click on "Cite this article" link that appears in the toolbox menu to the left when you read a standard article. It will provide you with a series of possible citation styles and in addition a link to the precise version of the page. Of course, you also may just point to the generic version of a page ...

Authors

Important notice for authors external to TECFA:

We have to come a with a solution for authors external to TECFA who wish to contribute. For the moment DSchneider and TECFA reserves the right to use any writings for other purposes, e.g. in a Textbook. In case this happens, you certainly will be cited if we can identify your contribution. Ideally, we would like the Wiki to insert author names automatically, but for now - if you wish to be known as author of an article - you have to insert your name (and affiliation) manually on top of your article.

See also our Privacy policy which is not the same as on Wikipedia (i.e. we require authors to have a login and in addition a reasonable way of "real world" identification if you wish to be cited for any contribution).
