Citations missing date August 2007 Selfref For Wikipedia s guide to referencing scientific and mathematic articles, see Wikipedia Scientific citation guidelines Scientific citation is the process by which logical consequence conclusion s of previous scientist s are used to justify experimental Procedure term procedures , apparatus , Objective goal goal s or theses . Typically such citations establish the general wikt framework framework of wikt influence influence s and the mindset of research , and especially as part of what science it is, and to help determine who conducts the peer review . In the mathematically predictive hard sciences , citation is usually viewed as a necessary evil . Developing arguments from fundamentals is more desirable but often impossible as the long chains of logic are harder to follow and remember. Accordingly, some reliance on authoritative prior scientific consensus is the norm, either with citation or not, e.g. a paper citing F ma does not in general include a formal citation to Isaac Newton , although that s implied. It is more recent or controversial work that will in general require citations, and thus reliance on a very few such works is advised by most scientist s, to avoid building on a still shifting foundation architecture foundation . In the more model driven soft or human sciences, where prediction and experiment and Scientificcontrolcontrol s are less common, citation is viewed somewhat differently.
