last, first;
- authorlink works either with author or with last & first to link to the appropriate article (interwiki link)
- coauthors: allows additional authors
- last works with first to produce

- pmid: The document's PubMed Unique Identifier, such as 15128012
- doi: A digital object identifier for the document, such as 10.1016/j.coi.2004.08.001
- 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 {{US patent}}. (Use one of the more specialized parameters if possible; they are linked automatically. In other words, don't use
id = PMID 15128012
anymore. Usepmid = 15128012
.) - url: URL of a copy of the article, if available online.
- format: Format, i.e. PDF. Don't specify for HTML (implied as default).

For producing a non-wikilinked date of retrieval:

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 | ... }}
