How to automatically generate references for graduation thesis?
Graduation thesis is different from ordinary small thesis, especially master's thesis or doctoral thesis. Thesis is usually four or five pages, master's thesis is fifty or sixty pages, and some even seventy or eighty pages. So it will be a very painful thing to modify something manually. There are at least two painful things: the automatic generation and numbering of catalogues and the superscript of references. This paper talks about tips from these two aspects, which is very convenient to generate automatically.

Let me start with two painful situations.

After setting up the directory structure of the article, I suddenly found that it was easy to add or delete a chapter in the middle, but its sequela was that the numbers behind it would change accordingly. For example, if the second chapter is to be deleted, then the third chapter of the principle will be changed to the second chapter, and the subsequent chapters will be revised accordingly, which is also very troublesome to add.

The second case is the superscript problem of references. There are dozens of references in master's thesis, and general papers will require that the references be listed in the order of citation. If new references need to be added, the reference numbers of these references will be changed accordingly.

Automatic table of contents generation Simply put, switch the document to outline view, and then set the outline level of the text to be set as a table of contents. If the outline level is set to 1 level, it is 1 level directory. Generally, we will set it to level 3, which will generate 1, 2, and 3 level directories. After setting, click "Insert" where you want to insert the directory-> "quotation"->; "Index and Table of Contents" will do. Just format it in another way.

Now let's talk about these two simple solutions.

First set it to the paragraph number. Set the primary directory you want to set as the primary number, the secondary directory as the secondary number, and so on. Like the reference, set it to the paragraph number. Setting it as a paragraph number has a great advantage, that is, when one of the items is inserted or deleted, the later items will become better, thus solving the problem of modifying the later item number at the same time because of adding or deleting intermediate items.

To update the table of contents, simply click Update Table of Contents in the outline view, or right-click the table of contents in the page view and select Update Field.

After setting the reference to the paragraph number, click Insert where you need to insert the reference-> "quotation"->; "Cross-reference", just find the number of the corresponding reference. Then set the format yourself.

There are several other methods, which are extracted from the internet.

(1) Bookmarks and cross-references: The numbering and citation steps of references are as follows:

(1) Add several documents at the end of the word document, such as:

[1] The Chinese version of Yang Word 2000 is used quickly. Beijing: Tsinghua University Publishing House, 2000.

[2] Peter Wavelka. Diane Poremschi. Chinese vocabulary expert 2002. Beijing Machinery Industry Press 2002

Note that word should be used for automatic numbering when entering. If word doesn't have automatic numbering, you can insert it yourself (this need not be explained in detail ...)

(2) Bookmark each document. For example, Yang chooses. The Chinese version of Word 2000 uses express delivery ",insert-bookmark, enter the book signature (the Chinese version of Word 2000 uses express delivery), and then add. Note that the book signature must start with a letter, contain numbers but no spaces, and can be separated by underscore characters, otherwise it may not be inserted. The signature of the book should be consistent with the name of the file, so that you can still recognize it after its position changes.

(3) Insert-quote-cross-quote at the position where the document needs to be cited, select bookmark for type, select citation item, and select paragraph number for content. At this point, the reference is complete! (Figure 2)

After editing the whole document, select all and right-click "Update Field", and the number will become the latest position of the document.

There is also a reference to insert footnotes.

1. Move the cursor to the position where you want to insert the reference, and then select Insert-Footnote and Endnote from the menu. (searched, no duplicate)

2. Select "endnote" in the dialog box, select "automatic numbering" as the numbering method, and suggest "section ending" as the position (for paper).

3. If AutoNumber is not Arabic numerals, select Options in the lower right corner and select Arabic numerals in the numbering format.

4. After confirmation, insert a superscript "1" here, and the cursor will automatically jump to the end of the article, which is preceded by a superscript "1", which is where the first reference is entered.

5. Change the format of the superscript "1" at the end of the article to normal (remember to change the format, don't delete it and re-enter, otherwise the reference will move in the future, and the serial number will remain unchanged), and then enter the reference inserted at the back (the format is slowly entered according to the requirements of the magazine, as if there is no way to simplify it).

6. Double-click "1" in front of the reference, and the cursor will return to the place where the reference was inserted in the article content, and you can continue to write the article.

7. Insert an endnote in the next place where you want to insert a reference according to the above method again, and a "2" will appear (Word has automatically sorted it for you), and continue to enter the reference to be inserted.

8. After quoting all the references, you will find that there is a short horizontal line in front of the first reference (which can only be seen in page view). If a spread is referenced, there will also be a long horizontal line in the spread. You cannot select or delete these rows. This is the sign of endnotes, but the format of general scientific papers cannot have such lines and must be deleted.

9. Switch to normal view and select View-Footnote from the menu. At this point, the edit field of the endnote appears at the bottom.

10. Select "Endnote Delimiter" from the drop-down menu on the right side of the endnote, and a short horizontal line will appear. Select and delete it.

1 1. Select Endnote Continuation Delimiter from the drop-down menu. This is a long horizontal line. Select and delete it.

12. Switch back to page view, and reference insertion has been completed. At this time, no matter how the article is changed, the references will be automatically arranged in order. If it is deleted, the following references will disappear automatically and there will be no errors.

13. The more references, the greater the advantage of this method. When I wrote my graduation thesis, I used this method to insert references in sections. It's cool! There is a small problem:

If the same reference is cited in two places, endnotes can only be inserted in the first place, but not in two places at the same time. After changing the article in this way, the reference number inserted later will not be changed automatically. Finally, I wish the friends who are struggling in the front line of the thesis a smooth graduation!
