Show that arxiv is alias for eprint (If we are going to tell people to use the "arxiv" parameter with the other CS1 cite templates, we should state that it is usable here (i.e. constant use of parameter names is a good thing).

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}

{{csdoc|cs1}}
{{csdoc|lead|preprints at the [[arXiv]]}} It links to the abstract at <tt><nowiki>http://www.arxiv.org/abs/</nowiki></tt>''eprint''.

=== Usage ===

To use the template, you need only specify the 'eprint' parameter. Once you save the page, [[User:Citation bot|a bot]] will detect the citation and complete it automatically.

; Common parameters, horizontal format
<tt><nowiki>{{cite arXiv |last= |first= |authorlink= |eprint= |title= |class= |year= |version= }}</nowiki></tt>

*'''last1, last2, last3...''': Surnames of the author(s)
*'''first1, first2, first3...''': Forenames of the author(s)
**'''author1, author2, author3''' etc: Name(s) of the author(s) if last-first format is not appropriate (e.g. some east Asian names)
*'''authorlink1, authorlink2...''': Name of author's Wikipedia page. Will be used to make author name a link, if present. Optional.
*'''arxiv''' or '''eprint''' '''(Mandatory)''': arXiv/Eprint identifier, without any "arXiv:" prefix. Prior to April 2007, the identifiers included a classification, an optional two-letter subdivision, and a 7-digit YYMMNNN year, 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 of the cited paper.
*'''date''' or '''year''': Date or year of publication. Optional.
*'''version''': arXiv version, including leading "v", e.g. "v1". Optional.

The template also supports most of the parameters supported by {{tl|cite journal}} or {{tl|citation}}, and uses the style of {{tl|cite journal}}. Once a paper is accepted in a peer-reviewed journal, it is recommended to use one of those templates, as the peer-reviewed status of the article is important, while preserving the arXiv link in order to guarantee open access to the article. To preserve the arXiv link, add e.g. {{para|arxiv|gr-qc/0610068}} or {{para|arxiv|math.GT/0309136}} or {{para|arxiv|YYMM.NNNN}} (following the above examples) to the {{tl|citation}}/{{tl|cite journal}} templates.
