How to move superscript citation numbers inside of punctuation in Markdown file?

Question

I am using Rmarkdown to write a paper with citations. When I use Nature's CSL (or any superscript numeric style) and render with Pandoc and pandoc-citeproc, the in line citations are outside of the punctuation. How can I move them inside the punctuation? Thanks!

Here is an example Rmd file:

---
title: "Test"
author: "Daijiang Li"
date: '`r format(Sys.time(), "%d %B, %Y")`'
output:
  bookdown::pdf_document2:

Here is a screenshot of what I got when render it with rmarkdown.

Answer 1

It should be sufficient to add

notes-after-punctuation: false

to the YAML metadata block.
