References are written at the end of military theory papers and appear at the end of the papers. They are references or quotations to a book or paper as a whole in the process of academic research. The cited documents have been noted in the notes and no longer appear in the following references. For a complete academic paper, the description of references is essential.

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 place in the serial number tag of each reference (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, and words and characters such as "P" or "page" are not added; 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.
