Text references with square brackets

Is there any citation style that uses square brackets? This is what I'm looking for:

5.8. References

[1] Vellacott ID, Cooke EJ, James CE. Nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy. Int J Gynecol Obstet 1988;27(1):57–9. [Journal]

[2] Speroff L, Glass BH, Kase NG. Clinical Gynecologic Endocrinology and Infertility. Baltimore: Williams and Wilkins; 1982. [Book]

[3] Disaia PJ, Creasman WT. Invasive Cancer of the Vulva. In: Disaia PJ, Creasman WT, eds. Clinical Gynecologic Oncology. St Louis: C.V. Mosby; 1984:214–9. [Chapter in book]

Text references should be indicated by Arabic numerals in square brackets on the line (not superscript): for example, [1–4] and [1,5,11,17]. To avoid any delays in the editing process, authors must make every effort to ensure that each reference is correct and complete. Incomplete references will be returned to the principal author for completion before the manuscript is edited.

Thanks so much for your help.
  • there are a bunch - Elsevier Vancouver and European Journal of Radiology, for example, look pretty close.
    Since, I assume, this is for the International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics I'd try the former.
  • great thanks so much for your help!
  • The style for the International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics is now up.It will appear on the style repository within 30mins.. (See here if you need instruction for installing styles in standalone.)

    Any problems please let us know.
  • Is there any citation style that uses superscripts, enclosed by square brackets? This is what I'm looking for:

    References
    Reference numbers are typed as superscripts, enclosed by square brackets, after the punctuation mark at the end of the line.

    Example: ...... with no evidence of testicular intratubular neoplasia.[1]

    References follow the ICMJE guidelines. Author’s surname is followed by author’s initials in capitals without spaces or full stops. Journal names are abbreviated according to Index Medicus. All references show page numbers in the format (121-6). The commonly cited types of references are shown here, for other types of references such as newspaper items the authors are recommended to refer to ICMJE Guidelines (http://www.icmje.org or http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/uniform_requirements.html).

    Articles in Journals

    We're going to look at adding a style for this journals, but for styles with that format now available, see e.g.
    Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology
    Spectroscopy Letters
  • That's logged. Will look at making this style over the next weeks.
  • American Journal of Sonography is now on the repository.
  • Sorry for posting here but I did't want to open a new thread. Is there a style in Zotero that uses normal script for the in text citation eg. [1] and the reference is something like:
    1. Halpern SD, Ubel PA, Caplan AL. Solid-organ transplantation in HIV-infected patients. N Engl J Med.
    2002;347:284-7. (no square brackets ?)

    It's my university's silly request for my PhD thesis format. Can anyone help ?
  • Try https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=id:vancouver-brackets-no-et-al

    If that doesn't work, there are some additional options among these https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=vancouver (though not all of them fit your description, obv.)
  • I need to use APA citations for my reference list but numbers in square brackets in-text. Is there anything like that already loaded in Zotero?
