Upgrade Storagestyle request: Biosensors & Bioelectronics
The publisher provides links for EndNote (http://www.endnote.com/support/enstyles.asp) and Reference Manager (External link http://refman.com/support/rmstyles.asp) style files. I have tried importing the .ens file into zotero but I get an error saying that it is not a valid style.
Here are the requirements, as listed on the journal's website:
(http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/405913/authorinstructions)
Text: All citations in the text should refer to:
1. Single author: the author's name (without initials, unless there is ambiguity) and the year of publication;
2. Two authors: both authors' names and the year of publication;
3. Three or more authors: first author's name followed by "et al." and the year of publication.
Citations may be made directly (or parenthetically). Groups of references should be listed first alphabetically, then chronologically.
Examples: "as demonstrated (Allan, 1996a, 1996b, 1999; Allan and Jones, 1995). Kramer et al. (2000) have recently shown ...."
List: References should be arranged first alphabetically and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters "a", "b", "c", etc., placed after the year of publication.
Examples:
Reference to a journal publication:
Van der Geer, J., Hanraads, J.A.J., Lupton, R.A., 2000. J. Sci. Commun. 163, 51–59.
Reference to a book:
Strunk Jr., W., White, E.B., 1979. The Elements of Style, third ed. Macmillan, New York.
Reference to a chapter in an edited book:
Mettam, G.R., Adams, L.B., 1999. How to prepare an electronic version of your article, in: Jones, B.S., Smith , R.Z. (Eds.), Introduction to the Electronic Age. E-Publishing Inc., New York, pp. 281–304.

The APA citation is very similar. There are 2 main differences: a citation with 2 authors should read '(Poelzing and Rosenbaum, 2004a)' instead of '(Poelzing & Rosenbaum, 2004a)'; a citation with 3 or more authors should be cited as '(Onkal et al., 2008)'. I believe the APA style has different rules for determining when to use et al.
The bibliography has a couple more differences: the initials of authors should not have a space between them, the year should not have parenthesis around it. After the year and a period, the last part should have the following format: Journal Title Issue, pages.
Here is an example of the APA and Biosensors and Bioelectronics citations and bibliography:
