Thank you so much, Henri.
But what I want to know is the format of the reference. For example, 
some journals need the reference in "author, journal, time, page" 
format, and the citation in the text should be in superscript or in 
parenthesis or bracket etc. I googled, and  found out that bibtex can 
handle this according to a corresponding  bibliography style file. But 
the grammar of this file looks very complicated. :(
