Journal Articles

*Author(s) (required): This should match exactly the author(s) in the work that cites your article.  

*Title (required): Title of the article. Capitalize the first word only.  Exceptions: Proper names are capitalized. All nouns in a German title are capitalized.

* Name of journal (required): Abbreviated form preferred, using a standard like the web accessible Abbreviations of Names of Serials or the PDF version of the Abbreviations of Names of Serials Reviewed in Mathematical Reviews. (The annual indexes of Mathematical Reviews gives abbreviations as well as complete titles of thousands of mathematical journals and book series published worldwide.)

Series number: If applicable.

Volume number (required): Must be at least one digit.

*Year of publication (required): Must be 4 digits, i.e., 1989.

*Page numbers (required): Give span of pages covered.

Language: If the work that cites your article is written in a language other than English, please complete this field.

MR number: MR 98f:3207 at the end of a reference means that the article was reviewed by Mathematical Reviews as number 3207 in issue 98f of volume 98.  Before Volume 21, Mathematical Reviews did not number individual reviews, so references to these volumes must be made by page number (MR 17, 441). Our ability to link to the proper review rests on your proper formatting of the MR number.

Digital ID (for electronic publications): Digital Object Identifier, for example.

Date posted (for electronic publications): Date this item was posted. Format: Oct. 29, 1998.
