Note from instructor

LDNeurobio, don't forget to add links and an image to your userpage.--MMBiology (talk) 23:43, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In case you need help adding an image to your userpage I've prepared a short essay here to explain the basic process. Yunshui 雲‍水 11:09, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple citations of the same source

Hi LD. Good work on the draft. A useful tip - if you want to use the same reference several times, you don't need to type out the full citation each time. Instead, use <ref name="short name for reference">reference</ref> for the first instance, and then just use <ref name="short name for reference"/> (note the slash) for every subsequent citation. For example, if I were using the BMB source in your draft, I'd use this:

<ref name="Orcesi et al"> Orcesi, S., La Piana, R. & Fazzi, E. (2009). Aicardia-Goutieres Syndrome. British Medical Bulletin. 89 (1). 183-201 http://0-bmb.oxfordjournals.org.libus.csd.mu.edu/content/89/1/183.full </ref>*

the first time. Every subsequent reference to that source could then be replaced by <ref name="Orcesi et al"/>. It makes your references a lot tidier - try it and see! Yunshui 雲‍水 21:44, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

*Actually, I'd use this: <ref name="Orcesi et al">{{cite journal|last1=Orcesi|first1=S.|last2=La Piana|first2=R.|last3=Fazzi|first3=E|year=2009|title=Aicardia-Goutieres Syndrome|journal=British Medical Bulletin|volume=89|issue=1|pages=183-201|url=http://0-bmb.oxfordjournals.org.libus.csd.mu.edu/content/89/1/183.full|accessdate=15 March 2013}}</ref>, which uses a standardised Wikipedia citation template and renders as this: Orcesi, S.; La Piana, R.; Fazzi, E (2009). "Aicardia-Goutieres Syndrome". British Medical Bulletin. 89 (1): 183–201. Retrieved 15 March 2013. If you want to use citation templates (you don't have to) that's the format.
