Science Advances - thesis and book chapter titles

Hi there,

I am preparing a manuscript for submission to Science Advances and cite two PhD theses and a chapter in an edited volume. The styles does not match what is given on the Instruction for Authors page for these types of citations. Specifically, the thesis titles and chapter titles are missing. It does look like the thesis title is optional (see below), but the chapter title is not optional. I think without the title might have been the Science Advances style in the past, but appears to no longer be?

From the Instructions for Authors (https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/information-authors):
Books (edited vol)
R. Davis, J. King, “[Chapter title goes here]” in Machine Intelligence, E. Acock, D. Michie, Eds. (Wiley, 1976), vol. 8, chap. 3. [use short form of publisher name, not “John Wiley & Sons”]

Theses
1. R. White, “[Thesis title goes here],“ thesis, University of Illinois, Chicago, IL (1983). [Optional: The title of the thesis may be provided in quotes after the author name.]


An example of how my book chapter is being formatted (no chapter name):
C. M. Hladik, P. Charles-Dominique, in Prosimian Biology, R. Martin, G. Doyle, A. Walker, Eds. (Duckworth, 1974; https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01237918), pp. 25–37.

Thanks!
Elaine
