Request for new style

namoureuse14
Hi everybody!
I’m looking for a style for PhD writing. Indeed, I need a style exactly like American Chemical Society with titles but not at the end of the document. I would like it at the end of the page: it’s like this in French PhDs.
Is that possible for you guys?

Thanks by advance

    Not really, sorry. Numeric styles like acs can only have a bibliography, not footnotes. How would you do this manually, without a reference manager?

    Sorry for the late answer...

    Manually I would insert a footnote and type the reference.

    5 years ago in Organic Letters and in JACS, it was footnotes only. For instance: http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ol102413t

    I don't need to insert a bibliography at the end of the document but footnotes are really important.

    I also don't understand the "numeric style" problem. For instance, "Modern Humanities Research Association 3rd edition" style is also numerical but this is also a footnote. What's the difference?
  • adamsmith
    If you cite the same thing twice in ACS, it's supposed to get the same number. You can't do that with footnotes (and so your method would fail).

    If you cite the same thing twice in MHRA, the second time is just a shorter version of the citation, but with a new number.

    In other words, footnotes are always sequential. Numerical citations aren't necessarily.

    ok I understand now. Thank you for your answer.
