Editorial policy
The Editorial Board for the Journal of Military Science and Technology (JMST) takes great care to ensure that all submissions are treated impartially, regardless of race, gender, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, political philosophy, sexual orientation, age, the reputation of the authors. All submissions sent to JMST must meet the Ethics in Publishing for the science journal.
Peer review process
Introduction to Peer review: Peer review plays a crucial role in ensuring that articles published in the Journal meet high-quality standards, benefiting the entire scientific community. As an integral part of the publication process, peer review validates the scientific integrity of submitted work, thereby enhancing the overall quality of published articles. Peer reviewers, experts in their fields, dedicate their time to provide constructive comments and advice to authors, contributing significantly to manuscript improvement.
Initial Manuscript Evaluation: All new manuscripts submitted to the JMST are screened for completeness and adherence to the Instructions for Authors. Those that pass are then assigned to the Editors for consideration for sending for peer review. The editor reads the manuscript and first evaluates it based on the broader context of the research. The Editor thoroughly reviews the manuscript and initially evaluates it within the broader context of the research. Manuscripts rejected at this stage are insufficiently original, have serious conceptual and methodological research flaws, have poor grammar or English language, or are outside the aims and scope of the Journal. Authors of manuscripts rejected at this stage generally are informed within one week of receipt. Manuscripts that meet the minimum criteria are passed on to at least two experts for peer review.
Selection of Reviewers: Reviewers are selected based on their expertise, prior publications in the same topic area, and prior performance as reviewers. The Authors are welcome to suggest potential Reviewers; however, it is the Editors' decision whether or not to honor such suggestions. The JMST's database of Reviewers is constantly being updated to track who is matched for peer review of manuscripts.
Peer Review Time: Typically, a manuscript is reviewed within three weeks during the first round. If the Reviewers do not send their review reports on time, a first reminder is sent to them. If the Reviewers cannot finish the review, please inform Editors immediately so the manuscript is transferred to other Reviewers. The Reviewers and Editors may request more than one revision round of a manuscript, and alternative Reviewers may also be invited to review the manuscript at any time. The revised manuscript is usually returned to the initial Reviewers for confirmation before publication.
Final Decision for Publication: Editors-in- Chief are responsible for deciding whether to reject or accept the manuscripts for publication via Reviewer and Associate Editors' recommendations and comments. The Editors' decision along with any recommendations from the Reviewers will be communicated to the Authors. After acceptance, the manuscripts are designed and produced by production teams, and their uncorrected proof copies are sent to the Authors before publication.
Upon receiving a new manuscript, Editors conduct an initial pre-review check to ensure the article is legible, complete, correctly formatted, original, within the scope of the journal, in the style of a scientific article, and written in clear English. An initial quality assessment is also conducted to ensure the reported results are significant and not incomplete.
All submissions to the journal are screened using the plagiarism detection software Grammarly and other ones. Any article that has problems with any of the above criteria may be rejected at this stage.
Reviewing stage
1. After passing successfully through Initial Manuscript Evaluation, manuscripts are sent to two independent reviewers in the same field (by single -blind review). Reviewers may recommend that the article is accepted, rejected, or that the article may be accepted after some revisions (4 days).
2. After accepting the review invitation, the reviewers have 3 weeks for reviewing the paper. The paper is evaluated with criteria indicated in the review form of the journal. Upon finishing, they will send comments to the editor through the online reviewing system. Along with comments, Reviewers' recommendations are sent to Editors. Depending on the quality of the paper, the recommendation is one of the following choices:
- "Accept Submission" which means the paper should be accepted as it is for publishing.
- "Minor Revision" which means the paper is conditionally accepted, some improvements are needed.
- "Major Revision" which means several parts of the paper need rewriting and the revised version will be reviewed for the second round.
- "Decline Submission" which means the paper is rejected.
3. Based on the Reviewers' recommendations, Editors are responsible for the decision to reject or accept the manuscripts for publication. The Editors’ decision will be sent to the Authors. The author of the paper will be informed of the result. The next step will be revised by the authors. (3 days)
4. For Minor Revision papers: The author has one week for making changes mentioned in the comments. Along with the revised paper, the author must send a cover letter explaining what changes have been made. The paper will not be sent to reviewers again. The Editor will check the revised paper and makes a decision on the paper. If the revised version responds satisfactorily to the reviewers' comments, the result will be accepted and the next step in the process is step 8. Otherwise, further communication is needed and this step will be repeated (1 week)
5. For Major Revision papers: The author has two weeks for revising the paper. The author will submit a revised version with a cover letter explaining what has been addressed. This version will be re-assigned to the previous reviewers for the second round. This means a paper is considered as a Major Revision only once. Depending on the result, the next step will be step 4 (for a Minor Revision or step 6 for Accept Submission).
6. The paper is accepted for publishing. It will be sent to a copy-editor. The copy-editor will check and make changes so that the paper conforms to the style required by the journal. The author will be asked for approving the changes and making any necessary changes. (3 days)
7. The manuscript is then typeset by a layout editor. (1 week)
8. The galley is examined by a proofreader, the author, and the layout editor. After approvals from these people are received, the paper is ready to be printed and published. (1 week)
For Authors
Originality and Plagiarism: The Authors are requested to represent that the submission is the Authors’ original work which has not been previously published or under review elsewhere. If a part of the work is resulted by an organization or scientific team, it should be agreed in a written document by them for all uses. Submitting the same work to more than one journal is considered as an unethical publishing behavior and it is unacceptable. Authors should present their results clearly, honestly and without fabrication, falsification or inappropriate data manipulation. An article should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.
Authorship of the Article, Order of the Authors and Corresponding Author: All individuals who actually contributed to the work are to be included as Authors. If the work was prepared jointly, the order of the Authors (from left to right) should be made based on their contribution on development of the scientific and applied ideas; performance of analyses, experiments, evaluations, comments for the work; creation of the manuscript. The corresponding Author indicated by the symbol * in the manuscript will take responsibility on behalf of the co-Authors to summit the manuscript, provide information on the Authors, reponse to the Reviewers’ questions, contact with the Editors, etc. The corresponding Author should inform the co-Authors to agree in the submission and to obtain their signatures to the Copyright Transfer Agreement or their written permission to sign on their behalf.
Errors in Published Articles: When the Author founds error or inaccuracy in the Author’s published article, it is the Author’s obligation to notify the Journal Editors and cooperate with them to retract or correct the article.
Acknowledgment of Sources: Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given by citing the source at appropriate places. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.
Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: All authors should disclose in their manuscript relevant funding sources. Authors are required to declare whether or not they have financial, professional or personal interests from other parties or another conflict of interest that might be construed to influence the results or their interpretation in the manuscript.
Hazards and Human Subjects: The Author also warrants that the manuscript contains no libelous or unlawful statements, does not infringe upon the rights or the privacy of others, or contain material or instructions that might cause harm or injury.
Map showing international boundaries: Authors are responsible for accurately depicting internationally recognized boundaries of countries in maps submitted for publication. JSTT assumes no responsibility in this regard. Any paper found to have inaccuracies regarding international boundaries will not be published, and published papers found with such discrepancies will be retracted.
For Reviewers
Confidentiality:The Reviewer undertakes to keep submitted manuscripts and associated data confidential and privileged. The manuscripts must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the Editors. The Reviewer ensures that confidentiality is maintained while seeking advice from colleagues and assessing the manuscripts.
Improvement of the Article:The manuscript is improved by the peer review process. When possible and appropriate, the Reviewer suggests how the Author might improve clarity and the overall quality of the manuscript. It is Ok if the Reviewer disagrees with the Author’s ideas and asks the Author to provide reliable evidence to the disagreement. If the article is too long, the Reviewer points out specific areas which would benefit the Author from editing. The Reviewer makes suggestions to correct grammar when the technical meaning is unclear.
Timeliness:The Reviewers who accept invitations to review the manuscripts are requested to respond promptly and provide their comments within the agreed timeframe. If the Reviewers anticipate that they will not be able to meet the deadline, they are requested to inform the Editors so that new arrangements can be set up.
Conflicts of Interest:The Reviewers either seek clarification with the Editors or decline the invitation for review if there is a significant conflict of interest for the manuscript.
Ethical Standards:The Reviewer’s comments to the Author should be professional and courteous in order to ask for clarification on any items in the manuscript that feel unclear and require for additional explanation. Being rude or derogatory is not acceptable. The Reviewer’s comments should not include overtly negative comments which are unhelpful. If the Author provides reliable evidence to the disagreement about the research ideas, the Reviewer does not merit rejection. The Author welcomes positive and constructive feedback to the Reviewer’s comments.
Recommendation for Publication:Revised manuscripts are usually returned to the original Reviewers, who are asked to confirm that the comments have been addressed satisfactorily. The Reviewers are asked to make recommendation for publication to the Editors regarding a final decision.
For Editors
Quality and Content of the Journal:The Editors are responsible for identifying new and important topics for commissions, sourcing high quality manuscripts, approaching potential Authors and ultimately improving the quality of the Journal’s content. The Editors endorse the Journal to Readers, Authors and Colleagues and encourage them to submit their Work with high quality.
Selection of the Reviewers: Manuscripts submitted to the Journal are selected for double-blind peer-review by at least two Reviewers chosen by the Editors. The Authors are welcome to suggest at least three potential Reviewers; however, it is the Editors' decision whether or not to honor such suggestions. Reviewers are selected based on their expertise, prior publications in the same topic area and prior performance as a Reviewer.
Management of the Review Process:The Editors are responsible for handling day-to-day works on manuscripts (for connection from the Authors to the Reviewers and back and finally to the publisher), making suggestions for subject matter and providing second opinions on manuscripts when there is a conflict between the Reviewers.
Editing the Review Report:The Editors reserve the right to edit review reports before transmitted to the Authors in order to remove offensive language or to remove comments that reveal confidential information.
Originality and Plagiarism:Manuscripts submitted to the Journal are screened for detection of plagiarism using the iThenticate software by the Crossref Similarity Check as a service in order to verify the originality of manuscripts.
Decision for Publication:The Editors carefully consider the comments and advice by the peer Reviewers and use a variety of criteria (i.e. advanced and active research fields, carefully prepared and formatted manuscript, clear and concise language, ethical standards, interest to readers) to make a final decision for publication of the manuscript.
Plagiarism Detection to Ensure Writing and Research Integrity
Journal of Military Science and Technology uses Similarity Check a service provided by Crossref and powered by iThenticate plagiarism detection system, to screen for plagiarism before publication. Authors, researchers, and freelancers can also use iThenticate to screen their work before submission by visiting www.ithenticate.com.
Invitation to review an article
To uphold the impartiality of the journal, reviewers should consider any potential conflict of interest before agreeing to review a submission and should contact the editorial office to declare any potential conflict of interest in the following instances:
- If you are in direct competition with the authors.
- If you are a co-worker or collaborator with one of the authors.
- If you are in a position to exploit the authors' work.
- If you are in a position that prevents you from giving an objective opinion of the work.
If you are unable to act as a reviewer due to a conflict of interest, the article will be sent to an alternative reviewer.
Types of article

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Ethics in publishing
The publication of an article in a peer-reviewed journal is an essential building block in the development of a coherent and respected network of knowledge. It is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method.
It is therefore important to agree upon standards of expected ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: the author, the journal editor, the peer reviewer, the publisher, and the society of society-owned or sponsored journals.
Declaration of competing interest
All authors must disclose any financial and personal relationships with other people or organizations that could inappropriately influence (bias) their work. Examples of potential conflicts of interest include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, and grants or other funding. Authors should complete the declaration of competing interest statement using this template and upload to the submission system at the Attach/Upload Files step.
Declaration of generative AI in scientific writing
The below guidance only refers to the writing process, and not to the use of AI tools to analyse and draw insights from data as part of the research process.
Where authors use generative artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process, authors should only use these technologies to improve readability and language. Applying the technology should be done with human oversight and control, and authors should carefully review and edit the result, as AI can generate authoritative-sounding output that can be incorrect, incomplete or biased. AI and AI-assisted technologies should not be listed as an author or co-author, or be cited as an author. Authorship implies responsibilities and tasks that can only be attributed to and performed by humans.
Authors should disclose in their manuscript the use of AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process by following the instructions below. A statement will appear in the published work. Please note that authors are ultimately responsible and accountable for the contents of the work.
Disclosure instructions
Authors must disclose the use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process by adding a statement at the end of their manuscript in the core manuscript file, before the References list. The statement should be placed in a new section entitled 'Declaration of Generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process'
This declaration does not apply to the use of basic tools for checking grammar, spelling, references etc. If there is nothing to disclose, there is no need to add a statement.
Author contributions
For transparency, we require corresponding authors to provide co-author contributions to the manuscript including 14 different roles describing each contributor's specific contribution to the scholarly output. The roles are: Conceptualization; Data curation; Formal analysis; Funding acquisition; Investigation; Methodology; Project administration; Resources; Software; Supervision; Validation; Visualization; Roles/Writing - original draft; and Writing - review & editing. Note that not all roles may apply to every manuscript, and authors may have contributed through multiple roles.
Changes to authorship
This policy concerns the addition, deletion, or rearrangement of author names in the authorship of accepted manuscripts:
Before the accepted manuscript is published in an online issue: Requests to add or remove an author, or to rearrange the author names, must be sent to the Journal Manager from the corresponding author of the accepted manuscript and must include:
(a) the reason the name should be added or removed, or the author names rearranged and (b) written confirmation (e-mail, fax, letter) from all authors that they agree with the addition, removal or rearrangement. In the case of addition or removal of authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added or removed. Requests that are not sent by the corresponding author will be forwarded by the Journal Manager to the corresponding author, who must follow the procedure as described above.
Note that: (1) Journal Managers will inform the Journal Editors of any such requests and (2) publication of the accepted manuscript in an online issue is suspended until authorship has been agreed.
After the accepted manuscript is published in an online issue: Any requests to add, delete, or rearrange author names in an article published in an online issue will follow the same policies as noted above and result in a corrigendum.
Copyright
Upon acceptance of an article, authors are agreed to third-party reuse of open access articles, which will be determined by the Journal.
Author rights
Authors and their employer or institution have certain rights to reuse your work.
Open access
This journal is fully open access; all articles will be immediately and permanently free for everyone to read and download upon publication.
Language (usage and editing services)
Please write your text in Vietnamese or good English, but not a mixture of them.
Submission
Our online submission system guides you stepwise through the process of entering your article details and uploading your files. Editable files (e.g., Word, LaTeX) are required to typeset your article for final publication. All correspondence, including notification of the Editor's decision and requests for revision, is sent by e-mail.
Submit your article
Please submit your article via submission page.
Additional information
Tables and figures may be presented with captions within the main body of the manuscript; if so, figures should additionally be uploaded as high-resolution files.
Single-blind review
In this type of review, the names of the reviewers are hidden from the author. This is the most common method of reviewing by far, in which reviewers know the identity of the authors but authors do not know the identity of the reviewers. Points to consider regarding single anonymizedreview include:
- Reviewer anonymity allows for impartial decisions – the reviewers should not be influenced by the authors.
- Authors may be concerned that reviewers in their field could delay publication, giving the reviewers a chance to publish first.
- Reviewers may use their anonymity as justification for being unnecessarily critical or harsh when commenting on the authors’ work.
Author details: This should include the authors' names, affiliations, acknowledgments, and any Declaration of Interest statement, and a complete address for the corresponding author including an e-mail address.
Full manuscript: This is the manuscript with author details.
Use of word processing software
It is important that the file be saved in the native format of the word processor used. The text should be in single-column format. Keep the layout of the text as simple as possible. Most formatting codes will be removed and replaced on processing the article. In particular, do not use the word processor's options to justify text or to hyphenate words. However, do use boldface, italics, subscripts, superscripts, etc. When preparing tables, if you are using a table grid, use only one grid for each individual table and not a grid for each row. If no grid is used, use tabs, not spaces, to align columns. The electronic text should be prepared in a way very similar to that of conventional manuscripts. Note that source files of figures, tables, and text graphics will be required whether or not you embed your figures in the text. See also the section on Electronic artwork.
To avoid unnecessary errors you are strongly advised to use the 'spell-check' and 'grammar-check' functions of your word processor.
Article structure
Subdivision - numbered sections
Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2, ...), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is not included in section numbering). Use this numbering also for internal cross-referencing: do not just refer to 'the text'. Any subsection may be given a brief heading. Each heading should appear on its own separate line.
Introduction
State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.
Material and methods
Provide sufficient details to allow the work to be reproduced by an independent researcher. Methods that are already published should be summarized and indicated by a reference. If quoting directly from a previously published method, use quotation marks and also cite the source. Any modifications to existing methods should also be described
Theory/calculation
A Theory section should extend, not repeat, the background to the article already dealt with in the Introduction and lay the foundation for further work. In contrast, a Calculation section represents a practical development from a theoretical basis.
Results
Results should be clear and concise.
Discussion
This should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.
Conclusions
The main conclusions of the study may be presented in a short Conclusions section, which may stand alone or form a subsection of a Discussion or Results and Discussion section.
Appendices
If there is more than one appendix, they should be identified as A, B, etc. Formulae and equations in appendices should be given separate numbering: Eq. (A.1), Eq. (A.2), etc.; in a subsequent appendix, Eq. (B.1) and so on. Similarly for tables and figures: Table A.1; Fig. A.1, etc.
Essential title page information
- Title. Concise and informative. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.
- Author names and affiliations. Please clearly indicate the given name(s) and family name(s) of each author and check that all names are accurately spelled. Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name and, if available, the e-mail address of each author.
- Corresponding author. Clearly indicate who will handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. This responsibility includes answering any future queries about Methodology and Materials. Ensure that the e-mail address is given and that contact details are kept up to date by the corresponding author.
- Present/permanent address. If an author has moved since the work described in the article was done, or was visiting at the time, a 'Present address' (or 'Permanent address') may be indicated as a footnote to that author's name. The address at which the author actually did the work must be retained as the main, affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes.
Abstract
A concise and factual abstract is required. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results, and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, References should be avoided, but if essential, then cite the author(s) and year(s). Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.
Keywords
Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 keywords, and avoid general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, 'and', 'of'). Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes.
Abbreviations
Define abbreviations that are not standard in this field in a footnote to be placed on the first page of the article. Such abbreviations that are unavoidable in the abstract must be defined at their first mention there, as well as in the footnote. Ensure consistency of abbreviations throughout the article.
Acknowledgments
Collate acknowledgments in a separate section at the end of the article before the references and do not, therefore, include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise. List here those individuals who provided help during the research (e.g., providing language help, writing assistance or proof reading the article, etc.).
Math formulae
Please submit math equations as editable text and not as images. Present simple formulae in line with normal text where possible and use the solidus (/) instead of a horizontal line for small fractional terms, e.g., X/Y. In principle, variables are to be presented in italics. Powers of e are often more conveniently denoted by exp. Number consecutively any equations that have to be displayed separately from the text (if referred to explicitly in the text).
Footnotes
Footnotes should be used sparingly. Number them consecutively throughout the article. Many word processors can build footnotes into the text, and this feature may be used. Otherwise, please indicate the position of footnotes in the text and list the footnotes themselves separately at the end of the article. Do not include footnotes in the Reference list.
Artwork Electronic artwork General points
- Make sure you use uniform lettering and sizing of your original artwork. • Embed the used fonts if the application provides that option.
- Aim to use the following fonts in your illustrations: Arial, Courier, Times New Roman, Symbol, or use fonts that look similar.
- Number the illustrations according to their sequence in the text. • Use a logical naming convention for your artwork files.
- Provide captions to illustrations separately.
- Size the illustrations close to the desired dimensions of the published version. • Submit each illustration as a separate file.
A detailed guide on electronic artwork is available.
Formats
If your electronic artwork is created in a Microsoft Office application (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) then please supply 'as is' in the native document format.
Regardless of the application used other than Microsoft Office, when your electronic artwork is finalized, please 'Save as' or convert the images to one of the following formats (note the resolution requirements for line drawings, halftones, and line/halftone combinations given below):
EPS (or PDF): Vector drawings, embed all used fonts.
TIFF (or JPEG): Color or grayscale photographs (halftones), keep to a minimum of 300 dpi.
TIFF (or JPEG): Bitmapped (pure black & white pixels) line drawings, keep to a minimum of 1000 dpi. TIFF (or JPEG): Combinations bitmapped line/half-tone (color or grayscale), keep to a minimum of 500 dpi.
Please do not:
- Supply files that are optimized for screen use (e.g., GIF, BMP, PICT, WPG); these typically have a low number of pixels and limited set of colors;
- Supply files that are too low in resolution;
- Submit graphics that are disproportionately large for the content.
Figure captions
Ensure that each illustration has a caption. Supply captions separately, not attached to the figure. A caption should comprise a brief title (noton the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbreviations used.
Tables
Please submit tables as editable text and not as images. Tables can be placed either next to the relevant text in the article, or on separate page(s) at the end. Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text and place any table notes below the table body. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in them do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article. Please avoid using vertical rules and shading in table cells.
References Citation in text
Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and personal communications are not recommended in the reference list but may be mentioned in the text. If these references are included in the reference list they should follow the standard reference style of the journal and should include a substitution of the publication date with either 'Unpublished results' or 'Personal communication'. Citation of a reference as 'in press' implies that the item has been accepted for publication.
Reference links
Increased discoverability of research and high-quality peer review are ensured by online links to the sources cited. In order to allow us to create links to abstracting and indexing services, such as VCGate (Vietnam Citation Gateway), ACI (ASEAN Citation Index) etc.., please ensure that the data provided in the references are correct. Please note that incorrect surnames, journal/book titles, publication year, and pagination may prevent link creation. When copying references, please be careful as they may already contain errors. Use of the DOI is highly encouraged.
A DOI is guaranteed never to change, so you can use it as a permanent link to any electronic article. An example of a citation using DOI for an article not yet in an issue is VanDecar J.C., Russo R.M., James D.E., Ambeh W.B., Franke M. (2003). Aseismic continuation of the Lesser Antilles slab beneath northeastern Venezuela. Journal of Geophysical Research, https://doi.org/10.1029/2001JB000884. Please note the format of such citations should be in the same style as all other references in the paper.
Web references
As a minimum, the full URL should be given and the date when the reference was last accessed. Any further information, if known (DOI, author names, dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given. Web references can be listed separately (e.g., after the reference list) under a different heading if desired, or can be included in the reference list.
Reference style
Text: Indicate references by number(s) in square brackets in line with the text. The actual authors can be referred to, but the reference number(s) must always be given.
Example: '..... as demonstrated [3,6]. Barnaby and Jones [8] obtained a different result ....'
List: Number the references (numbers in square brackets) in the list in the order in which they appear in the text.
