Edit Elementa citation style
The existing citation style for Elementa isn't according to the journal's requirements, but I have been unable to make the changes myself in the CSL style editor.
These are the comments from the editor regarding the necessary changes
follow both the last name and the initials with a comma, list all authors (no use of “et al.” in this section), use sentence case for journal article titles, do not abbreviate the journal name, do not list the publisher for a journal article, use our date format for text (e.g., “accessed October 25, 2025”), italicize Latin names for genus (capitalized) and species (lower case)
I have managed to follow both last names and initials with a comma and to change the date format, but haven't managed to avoid the use of et al. and to not list the publisher for journal articles.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks,
A

Upgrade Storage
For removing the publisher, find the publisher macro and basically add an empty if condition for journal articles along these lines.
<macro name="publisher"><choose>
<if type="article-journal" match="any"/>
<else>
<group delimiter=": ">
<choose>
<if type="thesis">
<text variable="publisher-place" prefix="[" suffix="]"/>
</if>
<else-if variable="event" match="none">
<text variable="publisher-place"/>
</else-if>
</choose>
<text variable="publisher"/>
</group>
</else>
</macro>
