A list of references should be provided at the end of the document in the required format depending on the style followed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In the reference list, the authors should be listed first followed by the article title. The journal title comes next, which should be abbreviated without periods (e.g., J Mol Liq). The date and volume should be separated by a semicolon, and the DOI-based URL should be mentioned wherever available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#citation-sequence\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Citation-sequence system<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#citation-name\"><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">Citation-name system<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\"><a href=\"#name-year\">Name-year system<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"citation-sequence\" style=\"padding-top: 80px; margin-top: -80px;\">Citation-Sequence System<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In the citation-sequence format, the references should be listed in the order of their appearance in the main text.
