The automatic numbering of references can be done through the insert endnote function that comes with word.

If you want to automatically generate the whole reference according to a certain format, you must use tool software. Chinese periodicals generally use NoteExpress. Most schools have purchased the copyright of this software and can directly download the original version for use. Foreign periodicals generally use endnotes.

Writing skills

Place the cursor where the reference is quoted, select Insert Footnote and Endnote on the menu bar, and select Endnote in the pop-up dialog box. Click the option button to change the numbering format to Arabic numerals at the end of the document. After confirmation, Word inserts the reference number at the cursor and automatically jumps to the corresponding number at the end of the document. Please type the description of the reference, and add corresponding documents here according to the format of the reference description table.
