Blank template, horizontal format, common parameters only

{{cite journal | last= | first= | authorlink= | coauthors= | year= | month= | title= | journal= | volume= | issue= | pages= | id= | url= | accessdate= | quote= }}

Blank template, vertical format, with comments, all parameters

• Replace or delete any <angle-bracketed text> below when using the template in an article.
• Indented items are alternatives to the last non-indented item above them.

{{cite journal
| author = <full name of author>
  | last = <last name of author>
  | first = <first name of author>
| authorlink = <link author's name to this wiki article>
| coauthors = <list of coauthors>
| date = <date of publication>
  | year = <publication year>
  | month = <publication month>
| title = <title of article>
| journal = <journal title>
| volume = <volume of journal>
| issue = <issue of journal>
| pages = <page(s) on which article appears>
| issn = <ISSN of journal>
| id = <unique identifier (specify type)>
  | pmid = <PubMed Unique Identifier>
  | doi = <digital object identifier>
  | doilabel = <digital object identifier label (see note below)>
| url = <URL for online version of article>
| format = <format for URL document, if not HTML>
| language = <language article is written in, if not English>
| accessdate = <date URL was accessed>
  | accessyear = <year URL was accessed>
  | accessmonthday = <month and day URL was accessed>
    | accessdaymonth = <day and month URL was accessed>
| laysummary = <popular/simplified summary of article>
| laysource = <source of lay summary>
| laydate = <date of lay source>
| quote = <quote from article>
}}

Other notes:

• doi is used in a URL to link to information at doi.org. If the document identifier has characters that need to be "percent-escaped" (such as "%26" in place of "&"), then doilabel should contain the raw, "unescaped" version.
• For those familiar with Wikipedia's version of this template, the quotes and curly parameters are not used in this version.
