Reference is the whole reference or quotation of a book or a paper in the process of academic research.
The cited documents have been noted in the notes and no longer appear in the following references.
Literally, a reference is a document cited in the writing process, such as an article or a book.
However, according to the definition of GB/T 77 14-2005, the bibliographic reference refers to "the information resources of related documents cited for writing or editing papers and works." According to the requirements of China Academic Journals (CD-ROM Edition) Retrieval and Evaluation Data Standard (Trial) and China Social Science Journals Arrangement Standard (Revised Edition).
Many publications will distinguish between references and annotations, and define annotations as "words that further explain or supplement something in the text", which will be listed at the end of the article, separated from references or placed in the footer.
On August 20, 2007, the symposium on the arrangement standard of comprehensive humanities and social sciences academic journals was held in Tsinghua University, and it was decided that some journals would start to implement the new standard "Technical Specification for Citation of Comprehensive Journals" from 2008.
This technical specification summarizes the "annotation" style and "author-publication year" style of literature citation.
The word "reference" is no longer used.
At present, these two kinds of literature description or citation norms have great influence in China, and the latter is mainly used in higher-level academic journals of humanities and social sciences. document format
(1) The description rule of bibliographic references is GB/T 77 14—2005, which is applicable to bibliographic references catalogued by authors and editors but not used by librarians, catalogers and index editors.
(2) The specific arrangement of sequential coding system.
References are continuously coded with Arabic numerals in the order in which they appear in the text, and the serial numbers are placed in square brackets.
If the file is referenced repeatedly, it is marked with the same serial number in the text.
Generally speaking, the page number (or page number range) of a document cited once is listed in the following references.
The format is "publication year" of the work or "year, volume (issue)"+":page number (or page number range) of the periodical." .
For documents cited many times, list the page number or page number range of each reference in the serial number tag (some publications also regard the information that can indicate the location of the cited documents as page numbers) and put them in square brackets (only numbers are listed, without words and characters such as "P" or "page"; The line in the middle of the page number range is a half-word line) and marked with superscript.
If the serial number of a reference appearing as text needs to be followed by a page number or a page number range, the page number or page number range should also be superscript.
Authors and editors need to carefully check the serial numbers of references under the sequential coding system, so that the serial numbers are consistent with the list of references after the marked documents are exactly the same.
In addition, the page number or page number range of references should also be accurate. (3) The types of reference documents and literature types are identified with single letters according to GB 3469-83 "Document Types and Document Carrier Codes": monograph m; Newspaper n; Journal j; Patent document p; Compilation g; Ancient books o; Technical standards; Dissertation d; Scientific and technological report; Reference tool k; Search tool w; File b; Tape a; Chart q; Record l; Product sample x; Video tape v; Meeting minutes; Chinese translation test; Music score I; Movie y; Manuscript h; Microfilm u; Slide z; Miniature flat film f; Other e.
Note: When GB/T 77 14—2005 Document Description Rules quoted the document type code standard, M was interpreted as an ordinary book in its appendix list, which was either a list error or a citation change.
If it is an error, it must be cleared; Even if it is intentional change, it is easy to cause confusion because of this change, and we need to explore ways to improve it.
