As different journals and Conference proceedings have different reference styles, it is very much important to quickly identify the specific reference style they prefer.
To do this, is there any reference style analyzer which can analyze a given example reference style and give the name of the style?
Answer
Unfortunately the name of the reference style is in general Journal X's style. Even journals that claim to stick to a standard style (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago) often throw in little twists. In general I find that if you get close, journals are pretty forgiving and will copy edit you to the correct style.
Basically you want your in text citations to follow either an author-number (Vancouver) or author-date (Harvard) style. As for the list of citations, just make sure it has all the information that the journal uses (e.g., DOI if the journal uses it).
