Reporting Style Error: Radiotherapy and Oncology.

Hello,

I would like to report a style error for citing Radiotherapy and Oncology.

Correct citation would be:
[1] Campbell JL, Pedersen OK. The varieties of capitalism and hybrid success. Comparative Political Studies 2007;40:307–332.
[1] Mares I. Firms and the welfare state: When, why, and how does social policy matter to employers? In: P. A. Hall, D. Soskice, editors. Varieties of capitalism. The institutional foundations of comparative advantage. New York: Oxford University Press. 2001;184–213.

Important is also how the page numbers are formatted, such as:
184-5
184-95
184-253

  • have you checked Elsevier Vancouver? Looks pretty good at first glance.
  • Hi Adam,
    Thanks for your reply. Yes Elsevier Vancouver comes very close for journal references, but there are a few differences:
    - If >6 authors: only cite 3 authors followed by et al.
    - No doi information needed in the citation.

    The book citation format is very different to the Elsevier Vancouver style.

    Thank you for your help!

  • I'd prefer to leave this as Elsevier Vancouver unless you hear differently from the editors:

    1. et al: if you look at the bibliography of the sample article you posted, at least half of the articles with et al have it after 6, not after 3 authors
    2. DOI: Elsevier tells us they generally prefer to have DOIs included, they'll remove them at the typesetting stage, but use them for live-linking of articles.
    3. I couldn't find any actual references to edited book.

    Lastly, according to Elsevier's own database (which they share with us), the journal does follow Elsevier Vancouver.
