I am writing my thesis. and I need to know the correct way of putting the reference.
for example:

this is a sentence taken from someone [2].
this is a sentence taken from someone[2].
this is a sentence taken from someone. [2]
this is a sentence taken from someone.[2]

as you see in the four sentences about, there are differences in the space place and the dot place, which one of the is correct? (or maybe all wrong? )
