Welcome and explanation
Welcome to Wikipedia. Here's the deal for adding references. The main suggested reading is: WP:SECONDARY. The gist of this guideline is that Wikipedia emphasizes citations to reviews and books, not primary journal references (tens of thousands appear annually). Citing secondary sources is the encyclopedic style. Wikipedia is not into hosting lists of specialized papers.

Dont be disappointed: many chemists when they first start editing in Wikipedia want to add pretty specialized stuff (and often want to cite themselves or colleagues, but see WP:COI). But the situation here is different from the usual journal venues.

If you have questions, many editors can offer advice. Happy editing. --Smokefoot (talk) 21:20, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
