Reference in square brackets for springer document class svjour3

Question

I am using springer svjour3. I want the reference numbers to be in square brackets in the reference section.

For example:

[1] Moritz AR, Zamchek N (1946) Sudden and unexpected death of young soldiers. Arch Pathol 42: 459- 494.

[2] Janssen W, Naeve W (1975) Der plötzliche Tod aus natürlicher Ursache. In: Müller B (Hrsg) Gerichtliche Medizin. Springer, Berlin Heidelberg New York, Bd 1, 2. Aufl. S 248-304

What package do I need to include to make reference numbers include in square brackets?

This is my code:

\RequirePackage{fix-cm}


%\documentclass{svjour3}                     % onecolumn (standard format)

%\documentclass[smallcondensed]{svjour3}     % onecolumn (ditto)

\documentclass[smallextended,envcountsame,envcountchap,oribibl]{svjour3}   

% onecolumn (second format)

%\documentclass[twocolumn]{svjour3}          % twocolumn

\smartqed  % flush right qed marks, e.g. at end of proof
%

\usepackage{graphicx}

\usepackage{multirow}

\usepackage[linesnumbered,ruled,vlined]{algorithm2e}

\usepackage{array}

\usepackage{amsmath}

\usepackage{mathrsfs} 

\usepackage{amssymb} 

\usepackage{algpseudocode}

\usepackage[section]{placeins}

\usepackage{hyperref}

\bibliographystyle{spbasic}

%
% \usepackage{mathptmx}      % use Times fonts if available on your TeX system


\begin{document}


\begin{thebibliography}{}


% and use \bibitem to create references. Consult the Instructions

% for authors for reference list style.

Can you please provide code that we can copy-and-paste-and-compile to replicate your current setup? It should start with \documentclass and end with \end{document}. — Werner, Dec 28 '18 at 18:27
If your work is intended for publication, check beforehand if biblatex is supported. — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Dec 28 '18 at 18:40

You could redefine the bib label to include square brackets in the definition:

\documentclass{svjour3}   

\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\@biblabel}[1]{[#1]}
\makeatother
