Style request: Acta Neurochirurgica

niels.foit
Hello folks

I can't find any suitable style to match Acta's reference style. Could you please help? the closest one is neuroscience letters, but it has the first name as sorting before the last name and looks odd.

Here's the Springer descriptions of Acta Neurochirurgica


In the text, references should be noted in square brackets eg: [1] and listed in alphabetical order in the reference list.

Following some examples for the style of references:
Journal articles

    Use the tool mentioned under 2 - this is essentially Springer Vancouver, but we may already have an alphabetized version of that if you look.

    okay, so it is a dependent style. sorry, i am completely new to this, could you maybe be a bit more precise what exactly needs to be done now?

    cheers
  • adamsmith
    well that depends - did you find a style that's exactly right, i.e. also alphabetized? In that case, just use that and I'll add a dependent style when I get a chance.

    If you didn't, make sure that everything else about Springer Vancouver is right (and please check closely) and I'll add this as a separate style asap.

    hey adam

    ok i have checked everything, springer vancouver is not exactly right. so there should be a new style for Acta. The information from Springer (please see above) is accurate, so I would be glad if you yould add a new style...
  • adamsmith
    not sure I understand - what's not right about Springer Vancouver except the sort order?
  • niels.foit
    it is just the sort order!
  • adamsmith
    The style is up now. It will show up on the repository at www.zotero.org/styles within 30mins.
    Any problems let us know.
