TEXT CITATIONS

Cite references in consecutive numerical order starting with Ref. [1]. Once you number the reference, use the same number in all subsequent citations. It is not necessary to mention the author(s) of the source unless it is relevant to your text. If you do include author names in text, list the first author’s family name. If there are two or more authors, use “et al.”. (Note that “et al.” is not italicized.)

Examples:

1. One author: “SMITH[1] reports …”

2. Two or more authors: “SMITH et al.[23] report …”

3. To cite more than one source at a time: [2,3], [3-6], [12-14,19]

THE REFERENCE LIST (at the end of the manuscript)

List references in the order they were cited (numerical order, starting with [1]). List only one reference per bracketed number. The names of all authors should be given in the reference list unless there are more than three, in which case you may use “et al.”. The citation style of JCIN adheres to Chinese Standard GB/T 7714-2005. We recommend preparing the references with a bibliography software package, such as EndNote to avoid typing mistakes and duplicated references.
