Hi everybody,
I received a comment form a journal to revise the references as follows
Abe T, Fukushima N, Brune K, Boehm C, Sato N, Matsubayashi H, et al. Genome‐Wide allelotypes of familial pancreatic adenocarcinomas and familial and sporadic intraductal papillary muninous neoplasms. Clin Cancer Res. 2007;13(20):6019‐25.
This is Vancouver style, BUT the journal requires the numbers to be removed, and arrange it alphabetically. I can remove numbers manually from the references, but how the numbers in the manuscript text can be replaced by author names?
If I change the style (endnote X8), the style of references also gets changed. How to solve this issue?
You do not have many choices. If you have been asked to get rid of numbers in front of bibliographic entries, the only choice you have is to insert the authors' name between brackets within text. Thus, your guide to the author's name will be alphabetical, which is actually a different stylesheet from the recommended Vancouver style.
indeed few contingencies are offered in this case. Removing the numbers in front of bibliographic records leaves you with only one choice, which is to insert the names of the authors in parentheses in the text.
