Citation Format

Citation format in the manuscript with numbering in square brackets [n]. Every number must be listed in the bibliography section, and a minimum is 15 references. The numbering of citations in manuscripts does not have to be sequential except in the bibliography.

Example:

Architecture (Latin architectura, from the Greek ἀρχιτέκτων arkhitekton "architect", from ἀρχι- "chief" and τέκτων "creator") is both the process and the product of planning, designing, and constructing buildings or other structures [3]. Architectural works, in the material form of buildings, are often perceived as cultural symbols and as works of art. Historical civilizations are often identified with their surviving architectural achievements [2].

Use italics font with two quotation marks (opening and closing), for example: “quotation,” [3]
