Description
The Biblio extension for MediaWiki written by Martin Jambon allows to define and cite bibliographic entries by their key. It also downloads bibliographic references from PubMed and formats them using only the PubMed identifier (PMID). Similarly, books can be cited using their ISBN. See Biblio page for installation instructions and an example of use. OpenWetWare is currently using version 0.7.
How to use
You can easily add citations by typing <cite>Goldbeter-PNAS-1981 Jacob-JMB-1961 Ptashne-Genetic-Switch</cite> which gives [1, 2, 3].
To insert a list of references type
<biblio>
#Goldbeter-PNAS-1981 pmid=6947258
#Jacob-JMB-1961 pmid=13718526
#Ptashne-Genetic-Switch isbn=0879697164
</biblio>
which gives
- Goldbeter A and Koshland DE Jr. . pmid:6947258.
- JACOB F and MONOD J. . pmid:13718526.
- Mark Ptashne. A genetic switch. Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2004. isbn:0879697164.
Notes
- Cite keys cannot contain either periods (.) or colons (:). They can contain dashes.
- Some references, particularly old ones will yield references with odd formatting or absent information. (See the Jacob 1961 reference above for an example). This is due to the information in the relevant database (like Pubmed).
