Citation Guidelines

How to cite an article published in WIA Journal in common reference styles, with a link to the article page.

What to include

A reference to a WIA Journal article should contain:

  • the author name(s) and year of publication;
  • the article title, in the language it was published in;
  • the journal name, WIA Journal;
  • volume, issue and page or article numbers only if they are shown on the article page;
  • the article link, in the form https://wiajournal.com/papers/?id=<paper-id>, which you can copy from the article page in /papers/.
The examples below use placeholders (Author, Title, Year, Volume, Issue, paper-id). Replace them with the details shown on the article you are citing. Leave out any element the article page does not show rather than guessing it.

Articles not written in English

WIA Journal accepts manuscripts in any language (see Language Policy). When citing an article written in another language, keep the title in its original language. Many styles, including APA, recommend adding an English translation of the title in square brackets after it:

APAAuthor, A. A. (Year). Original-language title [English translation of the title]. WIA Journal. https://wiajournal.com/papers/?id=<paper-id>

Disclosing AI tools

If you used AI tools while preparing your own manuscript, say so in the text — usually in the methods section or the acknowledgements — naming the tool and what it was used for. A reference list entry is not a substitute for this description, and an AI tool should never be listed as an author. Follow the guidance of your chosen citation style if you quote or cite AI-generated output directly.
