Guidelines for listing articles and books

• Wherever possible, you should provide more information about an item than just the author, title and bibliographic details. The user needs to know what is in it and how it can be obtained.
• For journal articles, try to include an abstract. In most cases this can be found on Internet. A good source is PubMed: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed. Here, the user can also find out whether the article is copyright and what it costs to download it. Instructions for creating a link to PubMed are given below.
• If the item is not in PubMed, try to find a link to another site with information about it (e.g. by looking up the title in Google). If there is no abstract on-line, but you have a suitable text available, put this on a separate page of the wiki. The (internal) link to this page should look something like this: [[Obel 2000|Further information]]. Even if you give a link to an external abstract, you are free to include the abstract in the wiki (on a separate page) if you want to.
• If no other information is available, you can add a sentence or two after the reference stating very briefly what is in it and how to get hold of it.
• If the full text of an article, report or book is available on internet (or can be obtained via e-mail), it can be uploaded to the wiki as long as it is not copyright. This will ensure that the item can be instantly accessed and is always available. However, this is only necessary if (a) it is not available on internet, (b) the internet site is slow or unreliable, (c) the item is hard to locate on the site, or (d) if there is a risk that the item will be moved or deleted after a time.

How to make a link to an abstract on PubMed

Unfortunately this is not a simple as it could be.

1. Go to http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed and copy & paste the title of your article into the “search” field. If this yields a single result, look for the PubMed serial number of the article (PMID), which is usually at the bottom of the page. Your link to this abstract will be "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed" followed by a slash and this number. Example: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16839747.
2. If your search yields several results, click on the correct one to go to the abstract page. (If the search yields too many results, you can narrow it down by adding one or two authors’ names). When you arrive by this route, however, the url including PMID will appear in your browser window, followed by a lot of other code which you can simply delete.
3. It is helpful for the user if you make the link to the abstract open in a new page. You can find out how to do this in the “Instructions for using the wikis” under point 5. Your link will then look something like this:

[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16839747|_new Abstract]
