cite arXiv is for formatting references to preprints at the arXiv. It is fairly basic and could probably use attention. It links to the abstract at http://www.arxiv.org/abs/eprint.

Common parameters, horizontal format

{{cite arXiv |author= |authorlink= |eprint= |title= |class= |year= |version= |accessdate= }}

  • author: Author. Mandatory.
  • authorlink: Name of author's wikipedia page. Will be used to make author name a link, if present. Optional.
  • eprint: Eprint identifier, without any "arXiv:" prefix. Mandatory. Prior to April 2007, the identifiers included a classification, an optional two-letter subdivision, and a 7-digit YYMMNNN uear, 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.
  • class: arXiv classification, e.g. hep-th. Optional. To be used only with new-style eprint identifiers, that do not include the classification.
  • title: Title. Mandatory.
  • year: Year of publication. Optional.
  • version: arXiv version, including leading "v", e.g. "v1". Optional.
  • accessdate: Date of web access. Optional, but required by many citation standards.

Examples

  • {{cite arXiv |author=George A.J. Sparling |eprint=gr-qc/0610068 |title=Spacetime is spinorial; new dimensions are timelike |year=2006 |version=v1 }}
→ George A.J. Sparling (2006). "Spacetime is spinorial; new dimensions are timelike" arxiv:gr-qc/0610068v1.
  • {{cite arXiv |author=Tom Leinster |eprint=0707.0835 |class=math.CT |title=The Euler characteristic of a category as the sum of a divergent series |year=2007 }}
