Well it seems I found a treasure consisting of helpful and answering people. So I'll use it.
I plan to use citations in my document. I started with making thebibliography. I'll keep it plain simple because I have 9 or 10 references. The code is:
\documentclass{llncs}
\usepackage{amssymb,latexsym,amsmath,makeidx,cite}
\begin{document}
... By utilizing eye openness along with other facial features \cite{sandbach}.
\begin{thebibliography}{20}
\bibitem{sandbach}
Sandbach, G., Zafeiriou, S., Pantic, M. and Yin, L.:
Static and dynamic 3D facial expression recognition: A comprehensive survey.
Image and Vision Computing, 2012.
\end{thebibliography}
\end{document}
Download of llncs.cls under Springer - Information for LNCS Authors.
My expected output is
... facial features [1]
but I get
... facial features[?]
When I hover \cite{sandbach} in the tex file it shows the correct bibitem entry as I mentioned above. Am I missing something?

And seems I got stuck. – colt.exe Apr 28 '13 at 20:50\bibitemand create a dedicated bibtex file using something like jabref or bibtex. This would give me more confidence that the bib file was correctly formatted. Then I'd reference that file from the main .tex file, and compile using the usual latex, latex, bibtex, latex combo.
