Upgrade StorageStyle Request: Journal of Clinical Virology
Hi,
I've found errors in the Journal of Clinical Virology citation style. The in-line citations should be superscript with no delimiters. Right now they are not superscript and are bracketed.
Also, the bibliography citations are bracketed:
[1] Smith JS, Doe JP...
but they should only have a suffix:
1. Smith JS, Doe JP...
I fixed most of these problems using a visual editor (http://editor.citationstyles.org/visualEditor/) by editing the original Elsevier Vancouver csl.
However, I'm still having a little trouble with the in-line citations. When citing multiple citations in-line the hyphen is not superscript although the numeric citations are superscript (e.g. 4-7). Can someone please help me fix this? It's probably obvious to someone with more csl experience, but I can't seem to find the code that is formatting the hyphen. I know I can fix this manually in the document, but I'd rather fix the csl as I will likely use it again.
I also tried searching the forums but didn't find quite what I was looking for. Sorry if this was already addressed in another forum!
Thanks in advance for the help!

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Citation section from Nature style (superscripted numbers):
<citation collapse="citation-number"><sort>
<key variable="citation-number"/>
</sort>
<layout vertical-align="sup" delimiter=",">
<text variable="citation-number"/>
</layout>
</citation>
@adamsmith and/or Rintze (but I guess ultimately @cpina),
The journal seems to use Elsevier's Embelished Vancouver, which CSL repo has no mention of. So I set off looking how this style was generated and it says that it's an autogenerated dependent style. I was looking through the Elsevier journal list and that journal is not mentioned, which raises the question of how it was auto-generated (it's no where on the utilities repo). Furthermore, looking for other journals that use "Embelished Vancouver", I noticed that none of those journals appear in the Elsevier's list either.
Edit: also, Elsevier lists 2,480 journals, but CSL repo only lists 1,662. Looks like we're missing quite a few.
In case anyone else runs into this problem, the visual editor changed the code to:
<layout delimiter="," >
<text variable="citation-number" vertical-align="sup" />
</layout>
which is not as helpful as it only makes the citations superscript.
It looks like utilities is missing the last updated elsevier list - the last commit to utitilities/elsevier is three month old, the last commit updating elsevier styles (including adding j. clin. vir. is two month old.
they're gradually moving all of their journals to standard styles, but it's gradual and I doubt all journals will ever go along, since some are likely attached to their legacy styles.
