Check Numbered Citation Order automates validation of the citation order of numbered (Vancouver) style references, as well as figure, table, and box citations. It reports problems when citations are found out of sequential order.
To use the Check Numbered Citation Order function:
Run eXtyles up through the Citation Matching function and resolve all Citation Matching warnings.
Select Check Numbered Citation Order from the Advanced Processing menu. You will see a dialog asking you to select the bibliographic citation style used by the author. Select the appropriate style and click OK.
Do not run Check Numbered Citation Order prior to running Citation Matching.
An alert is shown when queries have not been added to indicate that citation order checking completed successfully. If any problems have been detected, an alert will indicate the number of queries, or comments, inserted.
In some cases, if a large number of problems are detected, eXtyles reports only the first ten problems. After you have fixed these problems, please rerun the Check Numbered Citation Order function again.
Check Numbered Citation Order will not proceed if multiple references are found with the same number (e.g., two references with number 19 are found).
