Dear Team, this was asked before but not answered. I want each of my numbered citations to have its own number, even if it is a repeated citation. Right now, if I repeat a citation later in the text it will be given the same number as the earlier citation but I want it to have its own number. So I have [1] … [2] … [3] … [1] … what I want is the last [1] to be a [4] and then use the short form in the bibliography. Even when I manually add page numbers, the book I am referencing stays at [1].
Thanks for you feedback. I now sent a mail to Elsevier asking for a clarification.
Repeating the [1] seems awkward to me as I have never seen this approach in publications, or never noticed. Is it usual for numbered reference styles? I mostly used the Chicago Style.
Very usual. reusing reference [1] later in the text, reuses the [1] in that context. I have never seen any style that would waste the space in a reference list to repeat the ref over and over again in the bibliography.
