Capitalize words such as Group, Section, Method, etc. if followed by a number, e.g. "In Group 4, five patients..."
The 'th' in 19th or 20th should NOT be written in superscript.

If a reference is written at the beginning of a sentence, e.g. "[12] studied...", insert the author's name before the reference number, e.g. "Smith [12] studied" or write “The authors of [13] studied.
