Extended data

For a complete academic paper, the description of references is essential. To sum up, the purpose and function of reference description are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Recording references can reflect the author's scientific attitude and the true and extensive scientific basis of the paper, as well as the starting point and depth of the paper. Science and technology and science and technology research are both inherited, and the present research is based on the past research. Today's research results or work are generally the continuation and development of previous research results or work.

Although the research results reported in the paper are the author's own, it is inevitable to quote the achievements of predecessors, including viewpoints, methods, data and other materials. If you mark the quoted parts, the achievements of others will be clear.

This not only reflects the author's respect for the work of others, but also eliminates the suspicion of plagiarism and plagiarism.

3. Recording references can serve as an index. Readers can easily search and find relevant books and materials through the recorded references, so as to have a more detailed understanding of the quotations in the text.
