Reference Citations
References should be cited using square brackets. Reference citations may be placed mid-sentence or at the end of a sentence (but before the period). For example: This is an example sentence [1]. If multiple references are cited in one sentence, please list them as follows: [1-4], [1,3], [5,9-12], etc. Footnotes are not permitted.
Please number references in the order in which they are mentioned in the text; they should not be alphabetized.
