Question regarding changing part of citation style

Hi everyone,

I am planning to submit to a journal requesting Chicago citation style, which I had selected when writing my paper- however, when re-reading the author guidelines I noted that this journal would prefer if the in-text citations are referenced using superscripts rather than brackets with numbers in them. I tried the "Requesting Styles" page, but my understanding is that I don't want to change the style of reference I'm using (I want to keep it as Chicago), but I just want the in-text references to change from within brackets to superscripts. Is this possible to do?

Are you sure you used Chicago? I don't know that it's even possible to get that as numbers in brackets. Could you post part of the bibliography here?

This was my mistake, I apologize. I'm always getting the city names mixed up. It's Vancouver style, not Chicago.

It's a lot easier for us to help you if you tell us the journal you're submitting to and sharing a link to the author guidelines.

OK! Good to know. This is the link to the author guidelines:

Thanks for the link.
We have superscript versions of Vancouver which you can download and install from here:
