| first     = Clark A 
| last      = Elliott
| first2    = Sally Gregory

| date      = 1979
| title = Biographical Dictionary of American Science: The Seventeenth Through the Nineteenth Centuries
| location  = Westport and  London
| publisher = Greenwood Press
| isbn      = 978-0-313-20419-7

So without any parameters:

{{Cite BDAS1979}}

the following is displayed:

Elliott, Clark A; Kohlstedt, Sally Gregory (1979). Biographical Dictionary of American Science: The Seventeenth Through the Nineteenth Centuries. Westport and London: Greenwood Press. ISBN 978-0-313-20419-7.

Pre-set parameters can be overwritten. For example publisher:
