Reference formats usually include:
1, monograph m, collection of essays c, newspaper article n, journal article j, dissertation d, report r, standard s, patent p, and document a deposited in the dissertation collection.
2. There are two common font sizes: consistent with the text or one size smaller than the text.
3. The common line spacing is 1.2 times, 22 pounds, 1.5 times.
4. Indentation methods such as hanging indent, first line indentation and no indentation have all appeared.
5. Punctuations in English references should use half-angle punctuation marks, and a space should be added after punctuation marks according to English input habits. Punctuations in Chinese documents can be the same as those in English documents, and they can all use half-angle punctuation+spaces, or they can all use full-angle punctuation without spaces.
When we cite documents in our papers, we should provide reference information in two places:
1. The reference is marked in the text, which can be (author's publication year: page number) or the serial number of the document (for example, 1, 2..., ① ② ...).
2. The list of references provides detailed information of references, which can be arranged at the end of the article or recorded at the bottom of the cited page in the form of footnotes. Different academic journals have different requirements and must be presented in a prescribed position and format. When the information of China HowNet is exported, the bibliography in China HowNet format or CAJ format can be generated. However, before using these automatically generated services, it is necessary to be familiar with the requirements of the reference format.
