ACS Biochemistry 2013

Hello,
I'm looking for this citation style:

Superscript number for the inline citation.

(1) Campbell, R. E., Tour, O., Palmer, A. E., Steinbach, P. A., Baird, G. S., Zacharias, D. A., and Tsien, R. Y. (2002) A monomeric red fluorescent protein. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A 99, 7877–7882.

(With journal title in italics)

This is the current ACS biochemistry reference format. I've downloaded from GitHub:

Biochemistry
acs nano
acs chemical biology
american chemical society with titles
american chemical society titles with brackets

and none of these have the proper formatting. I've tried editing, but have thus far failed at coding the correct formatting.

Biochemistry is almost correct. Issues still include:

Need superscript and no parentheses for the inline citation
The reference number in the bibliography should be in parentheses and no period
There should be no comma after the title.

Can this be fixed?

Thank you.

    The style is now fixed. The updated version will appear on the repository within 30mins (check the timestamp). Update your copy of the style by re-installing it from the repository. (See here if you need instructions for installing styles in standalone.)
    Any further problems please let us know.

    Hello,

    I am looking for the correct ACS biochemistry format. The current "Biochemistry" format selected in the Zotero styles is almost correct, but not quite.

    ACS states the biochemistry format should be this (with journal names in italics):

    Please follow the punctuation pattern given in these examples:

    (1) Wegner, A. (1979) Equilibrium study of the actin-tropomyosin interaction, J. Mol. Biol. 131, 839-853.
    (2) Kossiakoff, A. A., and Spencer, S. A. (1981) Direct determination of the protonation states of aspartic acid-102 and histidine-57 in the tetrahedral intermediate of the serine proteases: neutron structure of trypsin, Biochemistry 20, 6462-6474.
    (3) Johnson, G. L., Mac Andrew, V. I., and Pilch, P. F. (1981) Identification of the glucagon receptor in rat liver membranes by photoaffinity cross-linking, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 78, 875-878.



    ACS then states the following guidelines for in-text citations:

    Textual references should be cited by number (in italics) in order of appearance and put in the text in parentheses. Citations in the reference list at the end of the manuscript should be arranged and numbered (1., 2., etc.) in order of appearance.



    A link for these guidelines can be found here: https://pubs.acs.org/page/bichaw/submission/reference-guidelines.html

    Can this be fixed or created?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    The specific errors I am seeing with the current biochemistry format:

    The textual references are superscript, not in italics, and have no parentheses.

    The textual references need to be cited by number in italics, in order of appearance and put in the text in parentheses.

    Guidelines are often out of date and not updated. The actual typeset papers of this journal clearly show superscript numbers WITHOUT brackets.

    The up-to-date author guidelines (September 2024) indeed do not mention this special requirement:

    If anything, they point to the normal ACS reference style through the ACS Style Guide.
