Notes
[edit]
Although it may appear redundant to include multiple ids for articles, it is helpful for many editors who only have access to a certain resource. If only one ID is to be included, the DOI should be used, as this is the universal standard preferred by professional publications. Specifying a link as a doi, pmid etc. is always preferable to including it as a url parameter, as it makes it clear that the link is accurate and stable, but not necessarily openly accessible.

Alternate usages
[edit]
If the work has any of the following identifiers, then one of these specific templates may be used:
DOI: {{cite doi}}
JSTOR: {{cite jstor}}
PubMed: {{cite pmid}}
However, because these templates can be user-filled, they are prone to user error, and they generate a style that may not be compatible with other citations in the article (see WP:CITEVAR), so using the full cite journal template may be preferable, depending on the content area.  For medical articles, this citation-filling template can be used to generate a cite journal template from a PubMed identified (PMID).
