It is more helpful to reflect the advanced nature of the paper. Next, according to this question, talk about the matters that should be paid attention to when citing references in detail:

(1) referenced documents should be updated.

Whether the cited documents are novel or not reflects the advanced nature of the paper to some extent. Therefore, when writing scientific research papers, we should quote the latest literature as much as possible. Of course, the old literature that has made pioneering contributions in this field can also be cited appropriately, but it is absolutely not appropriate to have too many. The results of bibliometrics research show that the Liprice index (that is, the percentage of references cited by journals to the total cited references in five years) is above 50% in most periods. Therefore, when writing a paper, the author should cite as many documents as possible within five years, and at least 50%;

(2) Cite high-quality literature.

The quality of cited references reflects the academic level of the paper to a certain extent, and generally reflects the practicality, practicality and advancement of the paper. This requires the author to pay attention to reading and accumulating the literature of authoritative medical journals and authoritative experts;

(3) References should be complete.

References must be comprehensive, and relevant research results at home and abroad should be cited as comprehensively as possible. This requires us to give consideration to Chinese and foreign references and give priority to foreign references when quoting references. However, while citing a large number of foreign documents, we can't ignore some important domestic documents related to research.
