Wikipedia:WikiProject Academic Journals/Writing guide

This is an essay on style. It contains the advice and/or opinions of one or more WikiProjects on how to format and present article content within their area of interest. This information is not a formal Wikipedia policy or guideline, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community.

This guide is intended to assist editors in the creation and writing of articles on academic journals, conference proceedings, monographic series, and other scholarly serial publications. After following this, you should have a "perfect stub", and bigger articles should feel a bit more "mainstream". Note that this guide is not intended to replace Wikipedia's Manual of Style and that articles should follow the usual layout/formatting guidelines.

For the sake of simplicity, these publications will be referred as 'journals' in this guideline, unless otherwise noted.
