quotes: Specify "quotes=no" to disable the quotation marks around the title. If "quotes" is not defined or set to the empty string, the template places quotation marks around the title (default).
author: Author
- last works with first to produce last, first;
- authorlink works either with author or with last & first to link to the appropriate article (interwiki link)
- coauthors: allows additional authors
date: [[January 1]], [[2006]]. Full date of publication.
- year: 2006. Year of publication (ignored if the date field is used).
  - month: January. Month of publication (ignored if the date field is used, or if the year field is not used).
title: Title of article. This is the only required parameter. All other parameters are optional.
journal: Name of the journal or periodical.
volume: Volume number of the journal in which the article is found
issue: Issue number of the journal in which the article is found
pages: 45–47: first page, and optional last page (separated by an en dash –). Manually prepend with p. or pp. if desired.
publisher: Publisher of journal or periodical; should not include corporate designation such as "Ltd" or "Inc".
- location: Place of publication for journal or periodical.
issn: The publication's International Standard Serial Number such as 1111-2220
pmid: The document's PubMed Unique Identifier, such as 15128012
oclc: The periodical's Online Computer Library Center ID number, such as 3185581
doi: A digital object identifier for the document, such as 10.1016/j.coi.2004.08.001
- doilabel: If the doi contains some characters that must be escaped, use "doilabel" for the unescaped version. See Template:Tl: "id" is equivalent to "doi" and "label" is "doilabel"
bibcode: The document's bibcode in the Astrophysics Data System, e.g., 1924MNRAS..84..308E
id: A unique identifier, used if none of the above are applicable. In this case, you need to specify the kind of identifier you are using, preferably with a template like Template:Tl. (Use one of the more specialized parameters if possible; they are linked automatically. In other words, don't use id = PMID 15128012 anymore. Use pmid = 15128012.)
url: URL of a copy of the article, if available online.
- format: Format, e.g. PDF. Don't specify for HTML (implied as default).
  
  Specify as 'fee required' if free access no longer available.
  
  Specify as 'Reprint' if a full original version but not hosted by the original publisher.
accessdate: Full date when URL was last checked. Use ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format, for example "accessdate = 2008-05-29". Must not be wikilinked

For producing a non-wikilinked date of retrieval:

accessmonthday and accessyear: Month and day when item was accessed, for example "accessmonthday = May 10", and year when item was accessed, for example "accessyear = 2005". Produces: Retrieved on May 10, 2006.
accessdaymonth and accessyear: Month and day when item was accessed, for example "accessmonthday = 10 May", and year when item was accessed, for example "accessyear = 2005". Produces: Retrieved on 10 May 2006.

laysummary: URL of a lay summary, which could be in a popular science magazine or newspaper.
- laysource: Name of the source, e.g. The Guardian (UK newspaper) or New Scientist.
- laydate: Date of publication or, where this is not available, date of retrieval of the lay summary.
quote: Relevant excerpt from the journal.

An alternate method of adding one or more references to common media (preferably in Layman's terms) from the related journal citation can be specified within a single <ref>...</ref> tag using other citation templates; for example:

Text in the article.<ref>{{cite journal | ... }}<br/> '''Related news articles:''' *{{cite news | ... }} *{{cite web | ... }}</ref>
