Template:Expression of concern/doc

Usage

This template is used to mark citations with active expression of concerns.

Using

• Smith, J. (2008). "Foobar." ''Journal of Barfoo''. '''5''':12. {{expression of concern}}

gives

• Smith, J. (2008). "Foobar." Journal of Barfoo. 5:12.

If the article with an expression of concern is intended to be cited, for example while discussing the role of the publication in a controversy, then use {{expression of concern|intentional=yes}} instead, which gives

• Smith, J. (2008). "Foobar." Journal of Barfoo. 5:12. (This paper currently has an expression of concern)

If it's not intended to be cited, the citation should be removed per WP:RS, and the content of the article updated accordingly.

If a link to the expression of concern is desired, you can use

• Smith, J. (2008). "Foobar." ''Journal of Barfoo''. '''5''':12. {{expression of concern|doi=10.1371/journal.pone.0299122|intentional=yes}}

which gives

• Smith, J. (2008). "Foobar." Journal of Barfoo. 5:12. (This paper currently has an expression of concern, see )

The expression of concern identifier links |bibcode= (for bibcodes), |doi= (for DOIs), |pmc= (for PMCIDs), and |pmid= (for PMIDs) are supported. Failing that, {{expression of concern|https://...}} is also supported for a generic web link.

The template works with citation templates too, for example

*{{cite journal |last1=Nanduri |first1=Jayasri |last2=Vaddi |first2=Damodara Reddy |last3=Khan |first3=Shakil A. |last4=Wang |first4=Ning |last5=Makarenko |first5=Vladislav |last6=Semenza |first6=Gregg L. |last7=Prabhakar |first7=Nanduri R. |title=HIF-1α Activation by Intermittent Hypoxia Requires NADPH Oxidase Stimulation by Xanthine Oxidase |journal=PLOS ONE |date=9 March 2015 |volume=10 |issue=3 |article-number=e0119762 |doi=10.1371/journal.pone.0119762 |doi-access=free}} {{expression of concern|doi=10.1371/journal.pone.0299122 |intentional=yes}}

gives

• (This paper currently has an expression of concern, see )

Do not use this template in the fields of citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, as the HTML markup will be rendered in the metadata for that field.

Cleanup and tracking categories
