Style Error : [Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America]

Hello!

I am new here, just really started using this great tool today!
However, I think I found some errors with the PNAS formatting:

for example

Zotero gives:
29. Joselin AP et al. (2012) ROS-dependent regulation of Parkin and DJ-1 localization during oxidative stress in neurons. Hum Mol Genet 21:4888–4903.

but it should read (this taken from the references of a 2014 PNAS article:
29. Joselin AP, et al. (2012) ROS-dependent regulation of Parkin and DJ-1 localization
during oxidative stress in neurons. Hum Mol Genet 21(22):4888–4903.

Differences:
Issue number "(22)".

Coma after author ("AP") and before "et al".

Am I doing something wrong? Does other people have this problem also??

    Thank you for report. I fixed the style, which should be soon available.
  • dploper
    Thank you!

    Will this also fix the fact that this PNAS style put the numbering on the right side margin and in the line above when I drag a reference into Word?

    for example when I drag into word it looks like:

    right here >>> 1.
    Garraway LA, Lander ES (2013) Lessons from the Cancer Genome. Cell 153:17–37.

    With the numbering for the reference there towards the right on a separate line.

    no. As I said, that's a Word issue, nothing to do with the citation style. If you use the Word add-on or create a citation using right-click --> Create Bibliography --> Save as RTF this will appear correctly.

    Hi Adam,

    Yes I realized that this numbering problem disappears when using RTF. The problem I had is that the RTF did not "verify" some of my references. So I was left with the drag and drop option.

    Anyway I still have to "play around" with the program. Other than these little problems, it seems great, intuitive, fast, etc...

    I'll try again the RTF reloading the problematic references and to the RTF scan soon, hopefully the formatting is fixed.

    Thanks to both of you for quick replies!

    You're misunderstanding what I mean by RTF. I'm not referring to RTF Scan, but to right-click --> Create Bibliography --> Save as RTF
    Beyond that, why aren't you using the Word add-on? That's really what we expect people to use with numerical styles

    ADAM !!!

    Thanks man! thats exactly what I needed !!! (the "create bibliography").

    I had installed the Word add-on, but just haven't come around to using it yet. I just wanted, for now, a long list with all my references in proper style.

    worked like a charm, thanks again!!!
