Style Request: Discovery Medicine

I was wondering if someone could help me create a style for the Discovery Medicine journal? They have links to their styles but they are in EndNote and Reference Manager format. I know that I am able to search through the style database and I know that I can try to create my own from one that's similar, but literally every time I type in an example reference, every suggestion is only a 17% or less match and I've just been playing around with the CSL style creator for the past 2 hours (after reading tutorials) and have not been able to create one (not because the software isn't good, I just have no computer programing skills...). I would really appreciate your help, even if the closest reference style possible could be suggested (not one that is only a 17% match though... I'd be happy with 80% or more).

    Reference and Citation

    Reference list:

    An article is followed by generally no more than 75 references. A full citation of a reference includes all authors in the format of PubMed listing (see the example below) (if there are more than 20 authors, abbreviate the list as “first 20 authors, et al.”), article title, the journal’s name (PubMed abbreviations, in italic), volume number (issue number in parentheses), page numbers, and year of publication.

    References are listed according to the alphabetical order of the last name of the first author and publishing year (older year first if the same author but different years). If there are multiple references with the same first author and same publishing year, please add a letter after the year to differentiate the references (such as 2004a, 2004b, 2004c, etc.).

    An example of a reference citation and the order of the citations in the reference list:

    Boisvert WA. A leukocyte homologue of the IL-8 receptor CXCR-2 mediates the accumulation of macrophages in atherosclerotic lesions of LDL receptor-deficient mice. J Clin Invest 101(2):353-363, 2005.
    Boisvert WA, Santiago R, Curtiss LK, Terkeltaub RA. A leukocyte homologue of the IL-8 receptor CXCR-2 mediates the accumulation of macrophages in atherosclerotic lesions of LDL receptor-deficient mice. J Clin Invest 101(2):353-363, 1998.
    Boisvert WA, Santiago R, Curtiss LK, Terkeltaub RA. A leukocyte homologue of the IL-8 receptor CXCR-2 mediates the accumulation of macrophages in atherosclerotic lesions of LDL receptor-deficient mice. J Clin Invest 101(2):353-363, 2003a.

    For bibliography software EndNote or Reference Manager users, if your version of the program does not come with the reference output style for Discovery Medicine already installed, you may click here (ftp://support.isiresearchsoft.com/pub/pc/styles/endnote4/Discovery%20Medicine.ens) to download it for EndNote and click here (ftp://support.isiresearchsoft.com/RefMan/Styles/Discovery%20Medicine.os) to download it for Reference Manager.

    Reference citation in the article text:

    A reference is cited in the article text as “Author’s Last Name et al., year” (in parentheses) in the following format:
    (Smith, 2009), if there’s only one author
    (Smith and Johnson, 2009), if there are two authors
    (Smith et al., 2009), if there are three or more authors
    (Smith, 2009; Johnson et al., 2009), if two or more references are cited at the same time (the sequence of the references cited could be based on relevance)

    See https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/wiki/Requesting-Styles
    we likely have something pretty similar already, providing that info will allow us to quickly check.
  • @tsaco I just made the style and it is under review. Please ensure you follow the Requesting-styles guide next time, as we will be more motivated to help you. Having those citations adapted to the style by you helps immensely with finding a template that can be adapted.
