To add a reference, first select a name. To name the paper uniquely, name it {FirstAuthorName}{JournalAbbreviation}{Year}{letter} where the 'letter' is a,b,c, and so forth, noting duplicates. So M. R. Shirts and V. S. Pande, J. Chem. Phys. from 2005 becomes MRShirtsJChemPhys2005a.

Papers that have not yet appeared in print editions are fine, as long as you can provide a link to an online version of the article through the journal site. If you wish to link a preprint, add "Preprint" after the journal name (or in place of the Journal name if there not yet a journal), and replace it when it has been published.

If you are not sure of the journal abbreviation, you can look it up here


Following these practices will make it easier to modify this database later.
