It should be noted that when labeling references, we should strictly follow the format requirements to ensure the standardization and readability of the paper.
In addition, whether in APA format or MLA format, if multiple articles of the same author are cited in the reference list, they should be arranged in the order of publication year, and the citation format of each article should be the same. If there are multiple authors, they need to be arranged alphabetically by the first author's last name.
In addition, if references come from books, newspapers, magazines, websites and other different types of documents, they need to be marked according to the requirements of different types of documents to ensure that they meet the standards.
