"But the science of medicine is ever moving forward, as we are seeing now with the renaming (and reframing) of PCOS as polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS)."

We typically recommend ordering superscripts in the flow of reading, so top left to bottom right. Alternating above and below might be a little too hard to follow.
How would you order ref superscripts for a timeline with entries both above and below—clear across the top and then the bottom, or alternating above and below per chronology? #amediting @AMAManual

Hi can you provide the whole sentence so the syntax is clearer (eg, are these modifiers)?
@AMAManual Which is AMA preference:

Guidance on using age and age-related terms in chapters 11.7 and 11.12 has been updated for clarity and precision. academic.oup.com/amamanualof…
It's more of a signal that separates named people from the "and others" term, consistent with however many authors are listed before it.
@AMAManual, I noticed that in the short-form reference style, you maintained a comma before “et al.” In light of the fact that “et” means “and,” what is the reason for the comma?
PubMed publishes what is supplied by the journal/publisher. Per NLM's "Citing Medicine," PubMed "displays the article title in the case style used by the journal itself." That is why things look inconsistent with italics.

Hello, @AMAManual . The search function isn't working properly for the online manual: When I click a link in the search results, it takes me to the TOC rather than the page the link goes to. This has been going on for several days now. Can you help?
Thanks for the examples.
The entry for “provider” in chapter 11.1 (Correct and Preferred Usage) discourages use of this term in favor of clearer identification of health care professionals, institutions, and organizations.
