Template documentation

Use {{closed access}} to indicate that a publication is not available under open access. Use {{open access}} to indicate that a publication is available under open access.

Most closed-access publications are behind a paywall and require a personal or institutional subscription to access their full text. Others, including several studies, require purchase. Still, they can often be read an abstract or summary of a closed-access publication for free, even without a subscription. For citations input with citation templates such as {{cite journal}}, use the relevant parameters (such as <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|doi-access=free) to indicate the access level for a given identifier.

Usage

After a <ref> tag and a citation input as free text, add:

• a space
• then {{closed access}}
• then a closing </ref> tag.

Example

Markup	With the help of a <references> tag, this renders as
<ref>Testa A, Giannuzzi R, Sollazzo F, Petrongolo L, Bernardini L, Daini S (February 2013). [http://www.europeanreview.org/article/3083 "Psychiatric emergencies (part I): psychiatric disorders causing organic symptoms"]. ''European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences''. 17 Suppl 1: 55–64. {{open access}} </ref> == References == <references />	References
