A resource can easily be cited using the Citation reference (or its alias CiteRef) property. For example, a simple in-text annotation is created by Lorem ipsum [[CiteRef::Byrne 2008]] ... to appear as Lorem ipsum[1]....

References and citation keys

• The parentheses style of a citation reference can be modified using the scite.styles.css style sheet.
• If a page number reference is required then one can use the longform syntax [[CiteRef::Foo and Bar, 1970|Foo and Bar, 1970:42]] for SCI_CITEREF_KEY to highlight the page 42 while the shortform [[CiteRef::Foo and Bar, 1970|:42]] is suggested for SCI_CITEREF_NUM in order to appear as ...[1]:42
• To avoid cluttering a source text with citation resources it is suggested to divide text and resource definitions by storing {{#scite:}} resources on a related a subpage and use the [[CiteRef:: ...]] annotation on the source page for inclusion.

Backlinks (Where is the resource used?)

A citation resource displayed by Special:Browse will not only list all available structured data but also indicate subjects that have a reference to the key annotated by the Citation reference property.
