Hi all:
Is there an existing output style or perhaps a way to create an output style with the following format (i.e., with superscripted lettered in-text citations):
Amazing point I am making.a,b
References
a. First author last name first initial, Second author last name first initial (Year) Article Title. Journal title Vol pp-pp.
b. First author last name First initial (Year) Article Title. Journal Title Vol (Iss): pp-pp.
I haven’t been able to identify a an output style that uses superscripted letters for the format of in-text citations and lettered superscripts do not appear to be available to modify an existing output style.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks for your quick response, Leanne.
The style is requested by a governing body for their documents. In the past, we have used the “endnotes” feature in MSWord to achieve the style, but then struggled with ordering as it doesn’t reorder sequentially, but by timing of insertion.
Using MSWord’s footnote feature might resolve the issue with sequential ordering. Or is there a way to sequentially order with MSWord’s endnote feature? If footnoting, any ideas on how to create a bibliography list this way, as opposed to footnoting the references at the bottom of each page?
Not sure if an output style already exists that uses this format?
Thanks again for your help, Leanne. I agree, footnoting/endnoting is not well used in the Sciences, which might explain my lack of familiarity with them. Unfortunately, the governing body that made the request is not a publisher and I could not find anything by/for them when I previously looked into the output styles. My question was intended to be more general, as I have never seen in-text citations using superscripted letters. I appreciate the time and energy it took for you to answer my question, especially considering how vague it was! Thanks again - I will keep your suggestions in mind for any future inquiries/posts.
