Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics Style error

CP&T style correctly does the bibliography, but for submission the citations in the text should be in parentheses after the sentences, not superscripted... (eventually it is superscripted but only after acceptance, and that is by the journal editors) the submission instructions clearly state to put in parentheses for submission- how can this be fixed?
  • do you have a link? I have this bookmarked and will do this as quickly as possible - if you're in a hurry I can give you manual instructions.
  • here is the link to the CP&T author instructions:
    http://www.nature.com.proxy.library.vanderbilt.edu/clpt/clptguidetoauthors.pdf
    it is a .pdf.
    the relevant paragraph is pasted below- focus on first 3 sentences, rest included for completeness:
    Should be listed in order of appearance (Vancouver style). In the text, number references in order of appearance using Arabic numerals (e.g., 1, 2, 3) in parentheses for citations. The publisher will convert parenthetical citations to superscript at the proofing stage. The reference list (starting on a separate page) should contain the references in the order in which they are cited in the text. Citations included in tables/figures count toward the maximum references allowed for the article type and must be included in the reference list. Tables created solely of references are not permitted. Only published works, as well as manuscripts in press, should be included in the reference list; articles that are submitted or in preparation should be referred to as “unpublished data” in the text (for which all authors up to 6 total should be listed, then et al.). For publications in the reference list, all authors should be included unless there are more than six, in which case only the first author should be given, followed by ‘et al.’ Authors should be listed last name first, followed by a comma and initials of given names. Titles of cited articles are required for all article types. Titles of articles should be in Roman text and titles of books in italics. The titles should be written exactly as they appear in the work cited except that article titles should have only the first word capitalized, and they should end with a period. Journal names are italicized and abbreviated (with periods after each abbreviated word) according to common usage; refer to Index Medicus (PubMed) for details. Volume numbers appear in bold. For book citations, the publisher and city of publication are required; include the country (and state for US) for lesser-known cities or where any ambiguity is possible (e.g., John Wiley & Sons, Hoboken, New Jersey, USA, 2003; MIT Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA). Please note the following examples:
    Journal articles:

    Books:
    Eisen, H.N. Immunology: An Introduction to Molecular and Cellular Principles of the Immune Response 5th edn. (Harper & Row, New York, 1974).
    Articles in books:
    Weinstein, L. & Schwartz, M.N. Pathogenic properties of invading microorganisms. In Pathologic Physiology: Mechanisms of Disease (eds. Sodeman, W.A., Jr. & Sodeman, W.A.) 457–473 (W.B. Saunders, Philadelphia, 1974).

  • thanks, will get to this as soon as possible - might be up to a week, hope that's not a problem.
  • would be great if before weekend, but understand- please post something here so i get a notification when complete. thanks our lab loves zotero!
  • it's a tiny change, so I should be able to squeeze it in - will let you know once it's up.
  • great thanks!
  • OK, I just committed the changes, should show up soon - I created a new style called Nature Journal (no superscript) and linked the CP&T style to that. Check for the date after CP&T or said style to know when the repository has updated.
