Therefore, the distance between letters seems to be greater than the letter spacing in Chinese references. Specifically, the line spacing of references is generally adjusted according to the typesetting format of the paper, which generally requires that all parts of references should be clearly distinguished and the distance between different parts should be appropriately increased to highlight their importance. At the same time, the distance between letters should be properly controlled to ensure the overall coordination and aesthetics of references.
The letter spacing of English references is very large, in order to facilitate readers to find the information they need. If the letter spacing is too small, it will easily lead to confusion or reading difficulties, while if it is too large, the composition of the article will appear uncoordinated. In the case of mixed English in references, English letters and numbers usually use equal-width fonts, while Chinese characters use Songti or imitation Song fonts. In addition, punctuation in references should also be aligned with the surrounding text, and should not be suspended or bifurcated.
It should be noted that different paper publishing institutions and academic journals may have some special requirements and regulations, so when compiling references, we should carefully check and follow their official requirements to ensure that the typesetting of references conforms to norms and rules.
Problems needing attention in compiling English references
1. Accurately quote the source: When writing, you must accurately quote the source information, including the author's name, article title, periodical or title, publication year, page number, etc.
2. Typesetting format of references: Typesetting format of references must follow the style and format requirements stipulated by journals, including font, font size, line spacing and indentation.
3, the use of abbreviations: if you encounter some common abbreviations in the literature, such as et al. (et al.), ed. (editor), vol. (volume), etc. , you can use them.
4. Manual format adjustment: It should be noted that the file number and serial number are automatically generated in the software, which often needs manual adjustment to better meet the format requirements of periodicals.
