Science Journal Citation Formatter
Converts manuscript references and in-text citations into standard Science (AAAS) numbered continuous style.
The Science Journal Citation Formatter skill adapts bibliographies and citations into the strict house style required by Science (AAAS) publications. It transforms author-date or multi-series reference lists into a single continuous numbered stream spanning both the main text and Supplementary Materials, formats in-text citations as italicized numbers in parentheses, expands truncated author lists to full rosters, abbreviates journal titles, and merges explanatory notes into standard numbered bibliography entries.
