WikiRug:Journals/Article Structure
Journals
Below is the suggested outline of WikiRug articles related to Journals. This suggested structure is a guideline that the WikiRug believes will help to make Journals-related articles readable and consistent in appearance and which we hope will assist editors in starting and improving these articles. We hope that you will take this guideline into consideration when editing articles on Journals.
Introduction (before TOC)
The introduction of each article should follow the rules set down at Lead section. The lead section (also known as the lead or introduction) of a WikiRug article is the section before the table of contents and the first heading.
The lead serves as an introduction to the article and a summary of its most important contents. The average WikiRug article visit is a few minutes. The lead is the first thing most people will read upon arriving at an article.
It gives the basics in a nutshell and cultivates interest in reading on – though not by teasing the reader or hinting at what follows. It should be written in a clear, accessible style with a neutral point of view.
The introduction should begin with the name of the article in boldface and it should also be italicised. The article should be referred to in the present tense. The introduction should explain why the article is notable and give a brief overview of the entire page.
The lead section should not contain detailed or in-depth information on the subject, except very briefly as overview/notability information.
Infobox (before TOC)
The infobox for WikiRug articles should be specific in use and you can find it in List of infoboxes.
After TOC:
The main and full structure for an article is as follows:
You may leave some of this section blank or omit the subsections, in the case of lack of pieces of information.

Further reading
The Further reading section of an article contains a bulleted list of a reasonable number of works which a reader may consult for additional and more detailed coverage of the subject of the article. In articles with numerous footnotes, it probably is not obvious which ones are suitable for further reading. The "Further reading" section can help the readers by listing selected titles without worrying about duplications.
External links
There may be links to any other helpful sites about this article, as long as references are to non-commercial sites. Articles may include links to web pages outside WikiRug (external links), but they should not normally be placed in the body of an article. All external links must conform to certain formatting restrictions.
Some acceptable links include those that contain further research that is accurate and on-topic, information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail, or other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article for reasons unrelated to its accuracy.
Use of these guidelines on new and existing articles
