BMJ Output Style incorrect

kurotschka_p

Hi, the BMJ output style is incorrect. BMJ required formatting is as follows, for instance:

they account for 25% of antibiotic prescriptions.1 2 (small numbers)

The actual output is, yes, numeric, unfortunately the numbers are displayed in square brackets. This in incorrect.

How can I fix the issue?

No, the current style follows BMJ's guidelines

Citing in the text
References must be numbered sequentially as they appear in the text. References cited in figures or tables (or in their legends and footnotes) should appear at the end of the reference list to avoid re-numbering if tables and figures are moved around at peer review/proof stage. Reference numbers in the text should be inserted immediately after punctuation (with no word spacing)—for example,[6] not [6].

Where more than one reference is cited, these should be separated by a comma, for example,[1, 4, 39]. For sequences of consecutive numbers, give the first and last number of the sequence separated by a hyphen, for example,[22-25]. References provided in this format are translated during the production process to superscript type, and act as hyperlinks from the text to the quoted references in electronic forms of the article.
