Numbered References

 

When you set the reference style for your open document, you will have the opportunity to select Reference Number.

•To write alphanumeric references, the Order/Sequence should be set to Alphabetic Order on the Reference-List Format tab.

•To write numbered references, the Order/Sequence should be set to Order of Citation in Document on the Reference-List Format tab.

 

Reference Number In-Text Citations are often required by publications to document sources. There are two basic types of reference systems that use numbers in the text (citations repeated in the text are assigned the same number) that correspond to a numbered reference list: Alphanumeric references, and Numbered references.

 

Alphanumeric References

For the alphanumeric system, the reference list is ordered alphabetically. The numbers in the text are assigned after the reference list has been alphabetized, and numbered:

Nothing seemed so certain as the results of the early studies (2). It was precisely this level of apparent certainty, however, which led to a number of subsequent challenges to the techniques used to process the data (1). There were a number of fairly obvious flaws in the data's aspect: consistencies and regularities that seemed most irregular, upon close scrutiny (1,2).

2.   Smith, J.P. Studying certainty. Science and Culture 9 (1989) 442-463.

 

To write alphanumeric references, the Reference Number radio button should be selected, and the Reference List Format Order Sequence should be set to Alphabetic Order.

 

Numbered References

For numbered references, the reference list is ordered in the order of their appearance in the paper:
