Citations for the IPCC Fourth Assessment Review (AR4)


Each IPCC Assessment Report (AR) consists of four volumes: the reports of the three Working Groups (WG1, WG2, and WG3), and a Synthesis Report (SYR). Each volume has a Summary for Policymakers (SPM), and various other chapters and annexes. To cite these sources the recommended "in-line citation" is a short-cite (given below) that links to the chapter cited. This should include the page number(s) ("in-source location") where the referenced material is located, followed by additional details such as the name of the section, figure, table, etc. that is cited. These are usually placed in notes (perhaps with other citations or comments) using the  tags. Note that the recommended short-cites (as revised in 2019) do not use the authors' or editors' last names, as that was found to be confusing, and cumbersome to implement.

There should be Filled-in templates for these citations (and the corresponding in-line citation) can be found below; just click on "Show" for the appropriate report or chapter for a complete, ready-to-copy full citation.
 * one full citation for each chapter (annex, etc.) cited, which links to
 * a full citation for the volume (Working Group or Synthesis report) containing the chapter.

It is strongly recommended that the IPCC full-citations be kept in a "Sources" section (or "IPCC sources" sub-section if there are more than a few citations); see WP:IPCC citation for details.

The displayed result of these templates can be reviewed at the test page. Actual usage can be seen at Global warming.
