1. Find the original citation serial number: find the original citation serial number in the text and mark it.
2. Check the serial number of the new document: check the revised reference list and find the new serial number of the corresponding document.
3. Modify the file number: change the original reference file number to a new file number.
4. Check: Check whether the serial numbers of all referenced files are correct to avoid omission or duplication.
It should be pointed out that if the order of references changes, it may lead to complex adjustment of document serial numbers. Therefore, it is recommended to back up the original document list before modifying the citation order, so that it can be referenced and restored when necessary. In addition, the revised literature list also needs to be rearranged and follow the requirements of the citation format used.
When modifying the order of references, we should also pay attention to the following points:
1. Timing of revision: The order of references should be revised before finalization, so as to avoid frequent revision of citation numbers during typesetting and editing, which will affect the efficiency and accuracy of typesetting.
2. Citation method: Different citation methods and formats, such as author's year system and numbering system, can be used when citing documents in the text. When modifying the order of references, it is necessary to adjust the serial number of references according to the citation mode and format used.
3. Uniform format: When modifying the order of references, it is also necessary to ensure that the format and style of all documents are consistent, follow the requirements of the citation format used, and check the accuracy and completeness of the document information.
In a word, modifying the order of references is a common operation in academic writing and thesis writing, which needs to follow certain norms and processes to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the literature list.
