First of all, the cited references should be faithful to the original text.

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 can't change them at will, whether intentionally or unintentionally. If you want to be faithful to the original, the best way is to read the original carefully before using it, correctly understand the author's original intention, and try not to quote it, so as not to harm the original author, readers and yourself.

Secondly, we should pay attention 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.

Frankly speaking, editors and reviewers are human beings, and there are also some emotional factors in their work. If you get an article with unsatisfactory writing format, not to mention anything else, it is enough to leave a bad impression on the editor and even let the editor make a decision to reject the manuscript.

Even if it is not rejected in the end, this kind of manuscript is much less likely to be hired than the manuscript with standardized writing format. In fact, the author made a very low-level mistake and naturally reminded the editor that the author did not respect the journal, nor did he respect the editors and peer reviewers of the journal. Therefore, the author must pay attention to the description method of periodical references before submitting the manuscript, so as to avoid unnecessary negative influence. Actually, it's not complicated. Just pay attention.

Third, the number of references.

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".

Fourth, 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.
