Style request: Clinical Neurophysiology

This journal asks for pretty much Vancouver style though in-line I need author last name and year, not a superscript. Here's the actual instructions:

References: Cite references in the text by authors(s) name(s) followed by the year in chronological order (Miller and Jannetta, 1982; Moore, 1985). With more than two authors, name only the first followed by 'et al.' (Gardi et al., 1979). When two or more papers by the same author(s) appear in one year, distinguish them by a,b, etc. after the date (Babb et al., 1984 a,b). The reference list should be in the alphabetical order of the first author's name. Two or more references to the same author(s) should be in chronological order. References should follow the Vancouver style described in the 'Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals' with the exception that pagination should be complete. The titles of journals should be abbreviated in conformity with Index Medicus. The following are sample styles:


Journal article: Tobin K, Giuliani MJ, Lacomis D. Comparison of different modalities for detection of small fiber neuropathy. Clin Neurophysiol 1999;110:1909-1912.

Book: Strunk W, White EB. The elements of style, 3rd ed. New York: Macmillan, 1979.

Book chapter: Williamson SJ, Kaufman L, Curtis S, Lu Z-L, Michel CM, Wang J-Z. Neural substrates of working memories are revealed magnetically by the local suppression of alpha rhythm. In: Hashimoto I, Okada YC, Ogawa S, editors. Visualization of information processing in the human brain. Recent advances in MEG and functional MRI. Amsterdam: Elsevier, 1996:163-180.

Thank you.
  • I really need this style too as this is an important journal.
  • Use Journal of Neurophysiology, I got away with that in my publication.
  • Thanks Andy, that's a real help - will do.
  • I'll have a look at this later, depending on how much work it is I'll put up a style.
  • OK, the style is now up.
  • Hey Adam, that's great, thanks kindly.

    If my (or someone's) next article to CN gets accepted, we should make an acknowledgement - be a good plug for Zotero in any event.
  • Have installed and tried it out - works great. One thing though, mine shows a numbered bibliography. Are these associated with the style, and if so, can these numbers be removed?
  • oops sorry. A fix is up - check for the updated timestamp, then update your local copy by re-installing.
  • The revision seems to work great to me - thanks again.For anyone interested, here's some example output:

    Beuducel and Debener (2003) address this question. However, this has already been addressed by others (Dien et al., 2003).

  • hi,
    i just used this style to prepare my manuscript and (at least using mendeley, do not know about zotero) the output does not conform completely to the requirements by the journal. i have tweaked the style at the following lines to make it work:

    line 51: changed "and" to "text"
    line 251: changed "disambiguate-add-names" to "false"

    best,
    thomas
