Author guidelines; in the reference section, the following statement is written:
"PCI Journal styles reference list entries using the bibliography entry format from the Chicago Manual of Style; the entry elements are separated by periods. When citing references within the text, use superscript numerals in numerical order starting at the beginning of the paper. The Reference section at the end of the paper should also list references in numerical order, and the references and numbers should coordinate. Every cited edition of a reference must be listed as a separate reference."
I looked at every Chicago Manual of Style available in Mendeley. Non of them would list references in numerical order at the end of the paper. All of Chicago Manual of Style list the references at the end alphabetically based on the last name of the authors.
Can anyone help?
Yasir - it does seem confusing. Vancouver is the main numerical format - and Chicago is not traditionally numerical. This journal may have 'adapted' Chicago to also incorporate numerical - through accident or design. The best thing to do is look at a recent volume copy article and just 'copy' that format.
Thank you Dr. Dean Whitehead for answering my question. It seems that that's the only way to do it. The closest style followed by PCI Journal is SAGE - Vancouver.
Not a problem Yasir. It can be very confusing for authors when journals 'adapt' styles.
