Order in multiple citations

---

Hi!

I am experiencing the problem that creating multiple citations, I cannot choose there ordering. For instance, adding citations in the order 1, 2 3 can give me as result multiple citation [1-3], but a bibliography 1. (C) 2. (A) 3. (B). If there are single references in the desired order in the document, these are reordered as soon as I create the multiple citation. This problem is idependent on the method I create the citations with (add citation via the menu or use magic citations shortcut).

I am using standard nature citation style and tried different natures styles as well.

Unfortunately, this problem makes it impossible for me to create a submittable manuscript. Therefore, any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I got exactly the same problem. I made a new .csl file and if I import this in Papers3, everything is working fine and the abbreviations are showing as they should.

If I use this exact same stylesheet (.csl) in the Manuscript app, the full journal name is showing up instead of the abbreviations. I used different codes, but all are giving the same result (the long journal name):

<text variable="container-title" form="short" strip-periods="true" font-style="italic" suffix=" "/>
<text variable="container-title-short" strip-periods="true" font-style="italic" suffix=" "/>

As for almost all scientific papers in the medicine research field, the abbreviations are leading.

Any solutions?

Thank you very much your advice!

I will give that a try. Unfortunately I have no experience with .csl files so far.
Did you create that file manually according to your desires or is it just necessary to ensure that both programs use an identical .csl file? Also, how do you import/export CSL file? I did not find option in manusipts/papers. The only possibility I found is to import a citation style from the online repository which presumably installs the csl.

I hope, I am not asking too many questions. Thank you very much again,
