Usage

This template is to be used on main pages and talk pages of articles that have been though academic peer review and published in whole or in part in an academic journal. The template displays differently when included on a main vs talkpage (see examples below) and for whether the article was adapted from wikipedia initially (W2J) or written from scratch in the journal (J2W).

It also adds the article to Category:Wikipedia articles published in peer-reviewed literature. The only necessary parameter is the wikidata QID, and all data is drawn from the citation's wikidata item.

{{Academic peer reviewed
 | Q = QID for published academic article
}}
