1. Generally speaking, in the process of scientific research or writing, it is inseparable from the reference, reference and application of the relevant research results of predecessors or others, and the depth and breadth of the references recorded in the paper directly reflect the author's grasp of the academic frontier in the field of scientific research and the depth and breadth of scientific research work.

Therefore, through the references used in the author's manuscript, the journal editor can know whether the author has absorbed and referred to the latest scientific research achievements in his paper writing, so as to examine the author's scientific research attitude and the depth of scientific research achievements.

2. Recording references is the direct evidence to distinguish one's own achievements from those of others. Scientific research papers are the fruits of the author's labor. In order to show that the author is innovative and creative on the basis of the work of predecessors or others, it is inevitable to quote the ideas, viewpoints, methods, data and other materials of predecessors or others in the process of argumentation.

Quoting other people's literature when writing a paper, if the cited and used materials are not explained, people will doubt the authenticity of the author's labor achievements, and even be suspected of plagiarism. Therefore, when doing scientific research or writing, the author must respect the academic achievements of predecessors and others, and the quotations must be clearly marked.
