Style Error: American Journal of Surgery

ebrandford · April 12, 2017

The Author's Information packet packet states that references should be indicated in text with superscript numbers, however Zotero currently places them in parenthesis

https://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/525051?generatepdf=true
Reference style
Text: Indicate references by (consecutive) superscript arabic numerals in the order in which they appear in the text. The numerals are to be used outside periods and commas, inside colons and semicolons.

Thanks.

Try this style and let us know if this is correct now: https://github.com/damnation333/styles/blob/030108ff196539d28f3d015dc66979d25bc5e6b0/the-american-journal-of-surgery.csl (right click and save)
There is somewhat a variation regarding the delimiter after the container-title. Checked about 10 papers.

sorry- I am having trouble saving it- when I try it saves it as an .html file or I get a message that says it is not a valid style file

damnation · April 12, 2017

I've just made a last-minute fix. try again. it should validate now.

(I'll review and merge this tonight. I'd just hold off until then unless you're in a huge rush)

ebrandford · April 12, 2017

not in a huge rush (just a moderate rush, but tonight would be totally fine)--- thank you so much

(you first have to click the "Raw" button and then download the style file; alternatively, download straight from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/damnation333/styles/patch-29/the-american-journal-of-surgery.csl)

Now the citations in text are working but the citations at the end don't have the proper punctuation (no period after the numbers-- see below)

OK, fixed that and some other small issues and merged. The changes will show up on the Zotero repository within the next 30mins (check the timestamp). Styles also auto-update.
