D: Probability should be denoted by the uppercase English letter "P" (the specific test value should be provided before the P-value).
12) Usage of numbers

The representation of numerical ranges :5 to 10 should be 5 to 10, 50,000 to 100,000 cannot be written as 5 to 100,000. 3×109 to 6×109 or (3 to 6) ×109 cannot be written as 3 to 6×109. (50.2±0.6)% should not be written as 50.2±0.6% or 50.2%±0.6%.
13) References
References should be recorded using the sequential numbering system in accordance with GB/T 7714-2015 "Rules for the Documentation of References at the End of a Document". Around 20 references are for research works and around 35 for reviews. References at the end of the text are ordered in the order of the appearance within the text.
