Key Points of Note Technical Specifications
Note Code System Requirements
The standard allows six types of note codes: Arabic numerals, Chinese character serial numbers, letter sequence, symbol mark, etc., which must be unified throughout the book. In special cases, # can be used to mark chapter notes.
Comparison of the three major systems of source annotation
| System type | Annotation characteristics | Layout position | Applicable disciplines |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sequential coding system | Continuous digital numbering | References at the end of the text | Natural sciences |
| Notes-numbering system | Detailed listing of footnotes/endnotes | Footer or end of chapter | Humanities and social sciences |
| Author-year of publication system | (author, year) format | In-text notes | Social Sciences |
Implementation Suggestions
- Discipline Adaptation Principles: Humanities works should give priority to the annotation-numbering system, and empirical research recommends the author-publication year system
- Mixed Use Norms: Footnotes can be used for content notes, and a unified source annotation system should be adopted for literature citations
- Digital Transformation: Electronic publications are recommended to adopt an interactive annotation system with jumps
Typical Application Cases
Research on Chinese Social Structure adopts the annotation-numbering system: When cited for the first time, the full citation is "Lu Xueyi, ed., 2010, Contemporary Chinese Social Structure, p.109", and the second citation is simplified to "Lu Xueyi, ed., the same book, p.115".
