1, the cited references should be faithful to the original.
Citation is a reference to this file, and we should learn from it in the theory of retaining the original file. The author has no right to change the original intention of the original author, just introduce the methods, results and conclusions used by the original author. The author can express his opinions on the methods, results and conclusions used by the original author, but he cannot change them at will.
2. Attention should be paid to the description format of references.
Because the description format of references varies from journal to journal, the author should pay attention to the relevant provisions of journal contract before submitting a manuscript, at least look at how the references published in relevant journals are marked first, so as to understand the description format of references in relevant journals and avoid mistakes. The writing format of many authors' contributions, including the description format of references, is different from that required by magazines.
3. Number of citations
The number of references is not as much as possible, but should be positively related to the amount of information in the paper. For example, a research paper has only a few research results, but it is not good to cite a large number of documents in the discussion to explain and assume. However, some magazines have restrictions on the number of documents. It is best to follow the principle of "less but better".
4. Try to choose newer literary works.
Newer literature can highlight the latest research progress in this field and the significance and value of its own scientific research. At the same time, it can also contribute to the impact factors of SCI magazine. However, some classic documents in their own fields cannot be left behind.
