Official periodicals are examined and approved by the State Press and Publication Administration and the State Science and Technology Commission within an agreed amount, and are included in the "national unified number." Periodicals are very important sources of information due to their short publication cycle, fast reporting speed, large quantity, and new information content.

Modern newspapers are published once a day and are called journals; Or it is published once a week, known as a weekly magazine. Newspapers are characterized by timely reporting, wide audiences, and mass and popular nature.

2) The conference documents during the conference include opening speeches, speeches or reports, discussion records, conference resolutions and closing speeches.

3) Post-conference literature includes conference proceedings, compilations, collections, reports, academic symposium reports, conference special issues, etc. Among them, the minutes of the meeting are the documents that are published or published after the meeting, which are compiled and compiled. Conference literature is characterized by strong professionalism, and can comprehensively and quickly reflect the development level, dynamics and trends of a certain technical field or discipline.

5.Scientific and technical reports.

A scientific and technological report refers to a report that records the results or progress of the investigation, experiment, or research of a scientific research project, also known as a research report or report literature. It appeared at the beginning of the 20th century and developed rapidly after the Second World War, becoming a major category in scientific and technical literature. Each report is a self-contained volume, which usually contains the host organization, the author of the report, the classification level, the report number, the research project number, and the contract number.

According to the content, it can be divided into reports, reports, circulars, notes, technical translations, memoranda, and special publications. Scientific and technological reports have the characteristics of being a separate volume, with an indefinite publication date, in-depth content, rapid reporting, confidentiality, and controlled distribution.

6.Standard Literature.

Standard literature in the narrow sense refers to a set of normative documents such as specifications, rules, and technical requirements that must be implemented within a specific scope and approved by a recognized authority or competent authority in accordance with the prescribed procedures.

According to "Literature Types and Document Carriers**", M, J, and C represent the types of works.

m: Monographs (including historical and chronicles in ancient books). M is the abbreviation of the English word "monograph", "monograph" means: monograph, monograph.

Such works are such as "Chinese Rabbit Breeding".

c: ** set. C is the abbreviation of the English word "colloquium", "colloquium" means: symposium, academic presentation.

The letters represent the writings.

m: Monographs (including historical and chronicles in ancient books).

c: ** set.

D: Degree**.

R: Research report.

S: Standard. P: Patents.

A: Monographs, ** concentrated precipitation literature.

z: Other unspecified document types.

Electronic document types are identified by double letters:

db: database

cp: computer program.

EB: Electronic Bulletin.

db ol: a database on the online network.

DB MT: Tape database.

M CD: CD-ROM book.

CP DK: Disk Software.

JOL: Online Journal.

EB OL: Online Electronic Bulletin.

The type of literature usually varies according to different subject areas and the type of publication that is pinned. Here are some common types of literature:

2.Book: A published book, which usually contains information such as the author, title, place of publication, publisher, year of publication, etc.

3.Degree**: Completion of the academic requirements for a master's or doctoral degree, usually including information such as author, title, degree-awarding institution, and year of degree-awarding.

4.Conference**: Research published at an academic conference**, usually containing information such as author, title, conference name, conference location, conference date, etc.

7.Reports and manuals: These include reports and brochures published by institutions, non-profit organizations, or commercial organizations, usually containing information such as author, title, place of publication, publisher, year of publication, etc.

9.Databases: include data, statistics, charts and other information in various databases.

10.Patents: including invention patents, utility model patents, design patents, etc.

12.Standards and specifications: including national standards, industry standards, enterprise standards, technical specifications, etc.

13.Collection: A collection of essays, usually co-authored by scholars on the same topic or field.

In conclusion, different types of literature need to pay attention to different formatting requirements when citing and referencing to ensure the accuracy and standardization of literature citation.

The above are some of the common types of literature, and the specific types of literature can be adjusted according to different subject areas and types of publications.

Identifier: A – Theoretical and Applied Research Academic** (including review reports).

b——Practical technical achievements report (science and technology), theoretical learning and social practice summary (social science).

d. General dynamic information (newsletters, reports, conferences, interviews, etc.).

e——Documents and materials (including historical data, statistical data, institutions, people, books and periodicals, knowledge introductions, etc.).

<> For the precipitated literature in monographs and ** collections, it is recommended to use the single letter "a" for the identification of the document type; For other unspecified document types, the single letter "z" is recommended.

For references to electronic literature types such as databases, computer programs, and electronic bulletin boards, it is recommended to use the following two-letter identifiers:

The type of carrier of the electronic document and its identification.

For electronic documents that are not paper carriers, when they are cited as references, they need to indicate the carrier type in the reference type identification at the same time. This specification recommends the use of two-letter representation of electronic document carrier types: magnetic tape - MT, disk (disk) - DK, optical disc (CD-ROM) - CD, online (ONLINE) - OL, and the reference type identification including the document carrier type in the following format:

Document Type Identifier Carrier Type Identifier].

For example: [db ol] - database online

DB MT] - Database on Magnetic Tape

M CD] - Monograph on CD-ROM

CP DK] - Computer Program on Disk

JOL] – Serial Online

EB OL] – Electronic Bulletin Board Online

Traditional paper-based literature does not have to indicate the type of carrier when citing as a reference.

Hello. Literature generally has a suffix.

For example, a long paragraph of numbers or text will be followed by a file format, such as pdf, txt, etc. One of the easiest ways is to right-click on the file on your computer, pull it to the bottom of the properties and click on it, and you can see the file type.

Just like this, you can see that if it's CNKI.

Journal articles [J], technical standards [S].

Reference Type: Monograph [M], Collected [c], Newspaper Article[n], Journal Article[J], Degree[d], Report[r], Standard[s], Patent[p], Concentrated Extraction Cover [a].

The carrier type of electronic literature is the manuscript beam: Internet [OL], compact disc [CD], tape [MT], disk [DK].
