Open the Word document that needs to be referenced, and position the mouse cursor at the position where the reference needs to be added.
Click the References tab in the Word menu bar, and then select Footnotes and Endnotes.
In the footnote and endnote settings box that pops up, select the endnote option and check the square bracket style as the format. Set the application changes to the entire document, and then click Insert.
After clicking "Insert", a superscript "[1]" will be inserted at the cursor position, which is the marked position of the first reference.
Next, click Insert Endnote under the Citations tab to add other references. Every time you click "Insert Endnote", an endnote will be added at the end of the document, and the superscript number at the cursor position will increase accordingly.
If you need to delete the horizontal line before the reference mark, you can click the reference label again, and then select the footnote/endnote dividing line, so that the horizontal line will disappear.
It should be noted that when citing a document in the body of the paper, it is necessary to add the author's surname and publication year of the document, such as "Smith (20 10) thinks that …" or "Smith, 20 10) thinks that …". When the bibliography is listed at the end of the paper, it should be arranged in alphabetical order according to the author's surname and include all references cited in the paper. Each document record includes the author's name, publication year, article title, journal name, volume number, issue number, page number and other information. The specific format may be different according to the requirements of different disciplines and journals.
The above are the basic steps and precautions in the text of the paper. The specific operation may be slightly different due to different Word versions and paper requirements. Please make adjustments according to the actual situation.
