Use (PMID) instead of citation numbers

rterlevic

Hi,

An editor requested I use PMID numbers, formatted as (PMID:123234) instead of citation numbers within my article text. They then convert these to pubmed links.

Currently I am using National Library of Medicine (grant proposals with PMCID/PMID) as a citation style and manually replacing the citation numbers in the text with plain text PMID numbers, so the links between them and the bibliography are lost.

Now edits have been requested, and to avoid doing things manually I would like to have a citation style especially for this purpose.

I am a complete programming beginner but can follow simple instructions.

Cheers

Line 264+272, change to:
<text variable="PMID" prefix="PMID:" />
and
<text variable="PMID" prefix="PMID:" suffix=". "/>

Thanks for the reply!

I managed to change the style, it is a step in the right direction but it doesn't do what I need.
Here is an example:
What I have:
Text:
"...monocytes, macrophages and fibroblasts)^1"
Bibliography:
1. Unger N, Ueberberg B, Schulz S, Saeger W, Mann K, Petersenn S. Differential expression of somatostatin receptor subtype 1-5 proteins in numerous human normal tissues. Exp Clin Endocrinol Diabetes Off J Ger Soc Endocrinol Ger Diabetes Assoc. 2012 Sep;120(8):482–489. PMID: 22976314

What I need:
"...monocytes, macrophages and fibroblasts) (PMID:22976314)"
Bibliography:
1. Unger N, Ueberberg B, Schulz S, Saeger W, Mann K, Petersenn S. Differential expression of somatostatin receptor subtype 1-5 proteins in numerous human normal tissues. Exp Clin Endocrinol Diabetes Off J Ger Soc Endocrinol Ger Diabetes Assoc. 2012 Sep;120(8):482–489. PMID: 22976314

Thank you for your help!

sorry, line 267, not 264 needs to be changed.

So in other words, you're replacing
<text variable="citation-number"/> by the above

rterlevic

Thank you that mostly did it!

One more thing though, in the text citations appear as superscript, I would need them as plain text, can you give me some code to change this too?

Thanks!

adamsmith

Remove vertical-align="sup" which is in the line starting with <layout just a couple of lines above where you switched the text.

damnation

That's set on the line with starting with "layout" 1-2 lines above with the vertical-align attribute. Delete that

Thank you for all your help, everything woks now as expected!

Would you mind sharing this style on the zotero repository so I can download it?
