Help me convert references from one citation style to another. Original style and target style: [STYLES]. A sample of my references: [SAMPLE_REFERENCES]. The journal or institution's guidance: [GUIDANCE].

Create a conversion checklist covering in-text citation format, reference list order, author names, dates, titles, journal names, DOIs and links, page numbers, and edition details. Convert my sample references, marking the elements I changed and any missing information [ADD SOURCE]. Warn about common errors, such as automatic tools mishandling capitalisation. Remind me to verify against the official style manual or the journal's instructions [VERIFY], and to check every reference against the source itself. Provide a final proofreading routine.

Also add a short worked example converting one invented journal article reference between two common styles, labelled as an illustration, and a list of items that are easy to miss, such as issue numbers, DOI format and editor names in chapters.

Add a quick reference table with columns for element, original style, target style and my sample, so that the conversion is traceable and consistent across the whole list.
