Veterinary Microbiology Style Incorrect

kel18

Hello,

In the referencing requirements for the journal Veterinary Microbiology, it says that

"4. References cited together in the text should be arranged chronologically."

However, when I have multiple citations in a sentence, it arranges it alphabetically instead of chronologically (i.e. Kawamura et al., 2017; Liu et al., 2016; O’Keefe et al., 2010). Could the veterinary microbio style be updated so that it is correct?



The referencing requirements can be found here: https://www.elsevier.com/journals/veterinary-microbiology/0378-1135/guide-for-authors

@adamsmith This is a journal included in the Elsevier journal list. The journal does appear to actually sort citations by year, rather than by author then year. What's the correct procedure to make this an independent style?

@kel18
You can use this style: https://github.com/POBrien333/styles/raw/a9ea66a6460bb594981e54d73793e2ecf2660acf/veterinary-microbiology.csl

Let me know if it needs any other changes.

What's the correct procedure to make this an independent style?

Delete the automatically generated dependent style, add an independent style (with same style ID), and put the journal on the 'skip list' of the Elsevier metadata from which we generated dependents:
