AMA style adjustment

jkaplan513
Hey could someone help me adjust the American Medical Association- alphabetical style.

I just need to change the citations from a superscript to a non-superscript bracketed number (ex. [1] instead of a superscript 1)

I appreciate it. You can name this HAND journal or some sort of descriptor under the AMA heading

    For this journal? http://www.springer.com/medicine/surgery/journal/11552

    Yes that is the journal. Should only be a very slight modification in the coding for the in text citations.

    Use Vancouver (Brackets) not AMA and everything should look right except for the number of authors before et-al.

    edit: actually, just use Vancouver (Brackets) - the et-al is correct to, going by published articles rather than their (sparse) instruction for authors.b

    Unfortunately the Vancouver (Brackets) is not accurate with the journal. The brackets are superscript when they need to be in line with the text and the bibliography is not in alphabetical order.

    Is there anyway to update the AMA - alphabetical style to put the citations to a bracket that is in-line with the text (not superscripted)

    Thanks

    the brackets are correct in Vancouver brackets - Zotero just sometimes keeps the formatting from prior styles - switch to a note based style like Chicago (notes) and back and that should be fixed.

    I'll see when I can get to this, but it won't be super quick - if you want to try doing this yourself, see here for sorting:

    and here more generally for editing styles:
