1. The DRE journal self-citation rate should not exceed 10%, and the author self-citation rate should not exceed 15%.
2. The references of the article follow the numeric citation method. That is, references are indicated by numbers in square brackets within the text. Please number the references (in square brackets) in the list in the order of their appearance in the text. Please also ensure that every reference in the list is cited in the text.
3. In references, use italics only where standard citation styles require it, such as for biological Latin names.
4. For references with more than three authors, list only the first three, followed by “et al.”. List all author names with the initials of their given name first, followed by their surnames. For authors with multi-part given names, provide the initials of given name words. (e.g., Xiaoming Zhang →X.M. Zhang; Yangbowen Zhang → Y.B.W. Zhang; Jean-Luc P. A. Durand → J.-L.P.A. Durand)
5. Ensure that bibliographic information is complete and accurate, including details such as journal volume, issue number, page range and article number. Issue numbers should be written without a leading zero. (e.g., Volume 10, Issue 3, 2024 →10 (3) (2024))
6. For the article title, use sentence case capitalization. Capitalize only the first word, the first word after a colon, and any proper nouns.
7. The journal names should be abbreviated, with a dot after the abbreviation. The first letter of each word of the journal names should be capitalized.
