在中国学术界，GB7714-87/2005/2015是绝大多数中文期刊、学位论文、学术专著必须遵循的参考文献格式标准。如果完全依靠手工调整，每个引用的作者数量、标点符号、期刊卷期、页码格式等细节都需要逐一核对，不仅耗时费力，还极易出错。即使是一个100个引用的常规论文，手动调整也可能需要数小时，而且难以保证格式的完全一致性。 Grab the style file from the EndNote Style Gallery
The GB7714-87 standard, formally titled "Descriptive rules for bibliographic references," was approved by the National Bureau of Standards of China on May 5, 1985, and came into effect on January 1, 1988 [2†L8-L10]. At the time, its scope was clear and specific. It outlined the bibliographic items to be included in a reference, their order, the punctuation to be used, the method of transcribing each item, and the system for marking citations within the text. The standard was designed exclusively for authors and editors to compile bibliographies, distinguishing it from the different rules used by librarians, bibliographers, and indexers [2†L4-L6].
However, in the modern, globalized research environment, managing citations manually according to any standard is a Herculean task. This is where reference management software like becomes indispensable.
