"The theory was first put forward in 1987 [1]" 

"Scholtz [2] has argued that......." 

"Several recent studies [3, 4, 15, 16] have suggested that..." 

Vastly preferred                                     Acceptable

[1], [3], [5]                                             [1, 5, 7]
[1] - [5]                                                  [1-5]
