Welcome to theScience task force inWikiProject Bibliographies, a collaboration area and group of editors dedicated to improving Wikipedia'slists of publications inscience (formerly known as WikiProject Science pearls). For more information on WikiProjects in general, please seeWikipedia:WikiProject and theGuide to WikiProjects.

This task force concentrates on scientific bibliographies. All bibliographies inCategory:Lists of publications in science fall within the scope of this project. In addition, a list of articles is provided inlists of important publications in science.

Lists of publications are frequently targeted for deletion on the grounds that they either fail to provide aNeutral point of view (because editors decide which publications are important) or they are the result oforiginal research. Editors must be careful to avoid violating these policies. This is best done by satisfying the mainNotability criterion for stand-alone lists: There should be at least one reference that discusses the list topic itself as a subject (as opposed to the individual items on the list). However, not every member of the list needs to be mentioned in that reference.

TheManual of Style for Stand-alone lists states that a list should have selection criteria that are unambiguous, objective, and supported by reliable sources. Each entry in the list should state why it meets the selection criteria and provide citations supporting that statement. Any entry not providing citations can be challenged and removed.

The current set of inclusion criteria can be found inthis template for the lead section.

Many publications are important only to one part of the subject. The preferred organization for most such lists is to group them by sub-discipline.

Theassessment department gives details of our Quality and Importance statistics.

Place the{{WikiProject Bibliographies}} banner onall talk pages of list articles using the following code:

{{WikiProject Bibliographies|class=|importance=|science=yes |science-importance=}}

which produces output like this:

Below are a couple examples of template code to paste at the top of a list section or list article. Paste the code with the curly brackets. The code is followed by what it displays.

• {{Delsort |Bibliographies}} – to add an AfD toWikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Bibliographies:
  

• Note: This debate has been included in thelist of Bibliographies-related deletion discussions.

• {{Dynamic list}}
  This is adynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help byediting the page to add missing items, with references toreliable sources.
• {{Expand list}}

  This list isincomplete; you can help byadding missing items.

• {{List missing criteria}}

  This list has noprecise inclusion criteria as described in theManual of Style for standalone lists. Pleaseimprove this article by adding inclusion criteria, or discuss this issue on thetalk page.

Or, if you wish to use the userbox, add{{User Science task force}} to your user page instead as it includes the above wikicode.

If you would like to join the task force, you can add theUserbox template to your user page. You can also go toParticipants and add yourself to the list of users.

1. To satisfy the requirements fornotability of stand-alone lists and stop the frequent attempts todelete these articles, each list should be provided with a few reliable sources that justify its existence as a standalone list. TheSource books in Science is one series that will be useful to more than one list.
2. Clarify the criteria for inclusion in each list and revise theLead section to reflect the criteria.
3. Work onList of important publications in computer science. The decision on its AfD wasno consensus, so it is still vulnerable.
