Check Numbered Citation Order
- Jo Ripoll
Check Numbered Citation Order validates the citation order of numbered (Vancouver) style references, as well as figure, table, and box citations.
It reports problems by inserting queries (as Word comments) when citations are found out of the correct order.
Check Numbered Citation Order may be run in documents with name–date (Harvard)–style reference citations to check the order of figure table and box citations. It will not report problems with name–date reference citations.
For configurations without numbered citations, this process may be named Check Figure/Table Callout Order in the Advanced Processing menu.
How to use
To use the Check Numbered Citation Order function:
Run eXtyles up through the Citation Matching function.
Select eXtyles > Advanced Processing > Check Numbered Citation Order. You will see a dialog asking you to select the bibliographic citation style used by the author. Select the appropriate style and click OK.

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).
