{{csdoc|lead|preprints at the [[arXiv]]}} It links to the abstract at <code><nowiki>http://www.arxiv.org/abs/</nowiki></code>''eprint''.

=== Usage ===

To use the template, you need only specify the '''arxiv''' or '''eprint''' parameter. Once you save the page, [[User:Citation bot|Citation bot]] will detect the citation and complete it automatically.

;Common parameters, horizontal format : <code><nowiki>{{cite arXiv |last= |first= |author-link= |eprint= |title= |class= |date= }}</nowiki></code>
* '''arxiv''' or '''eprint''' '''(Mandatory)''': arXiv/Eprint identifier, without any "arXiv:" prefix. Prior to April 2007, the identifiers included a classification, an optional two-letter subdivision, and a 7-digit YYMMNNN year, month, and sequence number of submission in that category. E.g. gr-qc/0610068 or math.GT/0309136. After April 2007, the format was changed to a simple YYMM.NNNN. Starting in [https://arxiv.org/help/arxiv_identifier January 2015], the identifier was changed to be 5 digits: YYMM.NNNNN. 
* '''class''': arXiv classification, e.g. hep-th. Optional. To be used only with new-style (2007 and later) eprint identifiers that do not include the classification.
* '''title''': Title of the cited paper.

The template uses the style of {{tl|cite journal}}. Once a paper is accepted in a peer-reviewed journal, it is recommended to use one of those templates, as the peer-reviewed status of the article is important, while preserving the arXiv link in order to guarantee open access to the previous version of the article. To preserve the arXiv link, add e.g. {{para|arxiv|gr-qc/0610068}} or {{para|arxiv|math.GT/0309136}} or {{para|arxiv|YYMM.NNNN}} (following the above examples) to the {{tl|citation}} or {{tl|cite journal}} templates.
