US National Library of Medicine versus National Library of Medecine

taatoo3
Hello,

I can't find the US National (...) citation style. I can see that there are few differences from the non US version: (like: when more than 6 authors, you just write 3 authors and "et al."; they don't provide the month of publication, etc...)
So I'm changing it all manually, but do you know if I can download it somewhere?
(my article has been post poned for many reasons, but they insist on the bibliography, so if there is the slightest mistake on my next submission, It will be rejected....)

Best regards,

Tatiana T

    This is how it cites:


    Single Author
    Posley, K. EBM: Just look it up. Med Evid. 2009;6:35-58.
    More than one author, but less than seven
    Maggio L, Zwiess R, Stave C, Tinsley M. Reading: It does a body good. Adv in Reading. 2009;210:400-415.
    More than six authors:
    Steinberg R, Maggio, L, Posley K, et al. If we build it, will they use it wisely?. Jrnl of Info. 2009;314-316.

    And the bibliography is listed with numbers and dots (not brackets):
    1.
    2.
    3.
    ...

    Thanks if you can create the style! (or if there is another one exactly similar;-)

    National Library of Medicine refers to the US National Library of Medicine, specifically the "Citing Medicine" book published by NLM. But I'm not sure why you think that calls for not using months (it does), only three authors before et al (it allows both), or puts colons after authors (it doesn't).

    You seem to need to follow a specific publisher's/journals interpretation of NLM, so start by telling us which and provide a link to the instructions if possible.

    You may find http://editor.citationstyles.org/searchByExample/ helpful to find an exactly matching style.

    Voilà.
    Certes c'est bien NLM ou USNLM (la même chose) mais ils ont leurs petites particularités, notamment la citation dans le texte est entre crochets...

    Bonne journée, et merci,
