Bracketed number [1] for in-text citation

gpanza
Hey everyone. I've been going through multiple styles that state the intext citations will be bracketed in numbers. After I downloaded the styles (previous style was suprascript numbers) my in-text will not change to the bracketed numbers. Now I have a ton of endnotes with suprascript numbers then then numbers in brackets. What do I need to do to just have in-text in number (IE [1]) and then only have the references numbered appropriately (deleting the endnote suprascripts with cooresponding bracketed numbers)

    what was the original (superscripted) style you started from?

    I am not sure. I think I was originally on APA then changed it to the National Library of Medicine or the Vancover style. Now i've switched back and forth so many times I am completely lost. I've copied my text into another document and tried and still nothing.

    and you don't have the saved copy of the document before all of those conversions? The part that would really matter, though, would be the endnotes. If you actually used _endnotes_ (rather than just numbers in the text and a numbered bibliography in the end) that's a known problem.

    Otherwise, you could try changing to a style like Chicago Manual, set it to footnotes, then change back and see if that helps.

    If none of those things help, I don't think there's an alternative to these steps:
