Style Error: [Environmental Geochemistry and Health]

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
FYI, for this journal, there is also a difference in the author name listings in the bibliography - the existing style lists the first 5 authors followed by ...last author, while this journal wants the first 6 authors followed by et al.
