Cleaned up layout and other matters.

New page

{{Distinguish|Template:Cite archive}}
{{Documentation subpage}}
{{High-use|2600}}
{{caution|arXiv contains preliminary reports that have not been peer-reviewed and hence should be used with a high degree of caution. Per [[WP:MEDRS]] and [[WP:SCIRS]], these reports should not be used to support medical or scientific claims.}}

{{csdoc|lua|lua=yes}}
{{csdoc|cs1|lua=yes}}
{{csdoc|lead|preprints at [[arXiv]]}} It links to the abstract at <code><nowiki>https://www.arxiv.org/abs/</nowiki></code>''eprint''.

== Usage ==
To use the template, you need only specify the '''arxiv''' or '''eprint''' parameter. Once you save the page, [[User:Citation bot|Citation bot]] will detect the citation and complete it automatically.

* '''Note''' that quotation marks aren't part of the parameter names or their aliases and are there to make identifying them easier for readers.

* '''title''': Title of the cited paper.
* '''arxiv''' or '''eprint''' '''(mandatory)''': arXiv/Eprint identifier, without any "arXiv:" prefix. Prior to April 2007, the identifiers included a classification, an optional two-letter subdivision, and a 7-digit YYMMNNN year, month, and sequence number of submission in that category. E.g. gr-qc/0610068 or math.GT/0309136. After April 2007, the format was changed to a simple YYMM.NNNN. Starting in [https://arxiv.org/help/arxiv_identifier January 2015], the identifier was changed to be 5 digits: YYMM.NNNNN.
* '''class''': arXiv classification, e.g. hep-th. Optional. To be used only with new-style (2007 and later) eprint identifiers that do not include the classification.

The template uses the style of {{tl|cite journal}}. Once a paper is accepted in a peer-reviewed journal, it is recommended to use one of those templates, as the peer-reviewed status of the article is important, while preserving the arXiv link in order to guarantee open access to the previous version of the article. To preserve the arXiv link, add e.g. {{para|arxiv|gr-qc/0610068}} or {{para|arxiv|math.GT/0309136}} or {{para|arxiv|YYMM.NNNN}} (following the above examples) to the {{tl|citation}} or {{tl|cite journal}} templates.
