'''How To Cite:''' When citing a publication indexed at PubMed in the text of a page, either type "PMID:" followed by the PubMedID number of the publication, or else type the citation into the text as you wish it to appear in the reference list below, and then '''enclose it between &lt;ref&gt; and &lt;/ref&gt;'''. An example is "<nowiki><ref>PMID:15955783</ref></nowiki>". If you type the PubMedID in this manner, the properly formatted reference will created automatically at the bottom of the page (or wherever you place the necessary wikitext <nowiki>"<references/>"</nowiki>, read on..). For references not indexed at Pubmed, you will need to put the information as you want it to appear in the reference list between the &lt;ref&gt; and &lt;/ref&gt; tags. Only a number in brackets will be displayed in the text where you placed the reference. Clicking this bracketed number will jump to that reference at the bottom of the page, and block highlight it. Similarly, clicking the small upwards-pointing arrow that displays with the reference at the bottom of the page will jump to the place where it is cited, and block highlight the bracketed number.
===Citing by PubMed ID Number===


If you want to cite the '''same publication again later''' in your text, you need to give a name to the first instance, for example &lt;ref name="rasmol"&gt;...&lt;/ref&gt;. Then, you can re-cite the same reference with this: &lt;ref name="rasmol" /&gt;. (Note the trailing slash.) Here is how this will actually appear: Although Sayle released RasMol in 1993, his publication did not appear until 1995<ref name="rasmol" />. Although Herráez wrote the cited paper on Jmol<ref name="jmol"/>, he appropriately credits Miguel Howard and Robert Hanson for most of Jmol's development for macromolecular displays.

===Use DOI for citations not in PubMed===
 
===Not in PubMed, no DOI===
 
For references not indexed at Pubmed, and lacking a DOI, you will need to put the information as you want it to appear in the reference list between the &lt;ref&gt; and &lt;/ref&gt; tags. This can also be done for footnotes that are not citations of publications (see below).
 
===Repeat citations===
