Handling Special Cases

arXiv and Preprints

If you are citing a preprint-first workflow, verify whether the work now has a journal version or DOI before finalising the citation.

A. Patel, "Topological materials and transport," arXiv:2501.01234.

Article Numbers Instead of Page Ranges

Many physics journals use article numbers rather than traditional page ranges. Keep the article number exactly as published.

Phys. Rev. B 109, 245118 (2024).

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I cite a journal article in AIP format?

AIP journal references typically include authors, article title, abbreviated journal title, volume, page or article number, year, and DOI when available.

Can I use this for physics papers with arXiv versions?

Yes. CiteMe is designed for physics research workflows, including papers that exist as preprints before or alongside journal publication.

Does this AIP journal generator support DOI lookup?

Yes. DOI-based lookup is one of the best ways to retrieve complete metadata for AIP-style journal references.
