Upgrade StorageStyle Request: Bioethics Journal
For the life of my I cannot figure out how to create my own style. I tried the visual editor but for anyone without a degree in coding it's a joke. I need the style of the journal Bioethics, an incredibly common and prestigious journal in the field. I tried to start with Chicago Manual of Style (full note) because it did not have in line citations and most other styles do, but I couldn't even figure out how to put a period in the author's name.
Here are the guidelines:
Footnotes should be consecutively numbered and collected at the end of each page. Do not include an alphabetical list of references. Referencing in footnotes should follow this style:
I put slashes (//) around the italicized portions
Books:
Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs. 1998. /Code of Medical Ethics: Current Opinions with Annotations./ Chicago, IL: American Medical Association: 3-7.
Edited Books:
V. Held, ed. 1995. /Justice and Care: Essential Readings in Feminist Ethics./ Boulder, CO: Westview Press.
Chapters/Articles in Edited Books:
V. Held. 1998. Feminist Transformations of Moral Theory. In /Ethics: the Big Questions./ J.P. Sterba, ed. Malden, MA: Blackwell Publishing: 331–346.
Journals:
F.A. Chervenak & L.B. McCullough. Perinatal Ethics: A Practical Method of Analysis of Obligations to Mother and Foetus. /Obstet Gynecol/ 1985; 66: 442–446.
NB: Journals must be referenced in the footnotes using their abbreviated title. Journal title abbreviations can be accessed at the NCBI site here:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=journals
Just type in journal name and press ‘go’ to access the abbreviation.
Journal references normally require only the volume number and not the issue number. They should only contain the issue number if the journal volume does not have consecutive pagination.
Newspapers:
C. Dyer & S. Boseley. 1999. A Matter of Life and Death. /The Guardian/ 16 July: 3.
NB: In all book/journal article/internet reference/newspaper articles, all key words should be capitalised and prepositions, pronouns and definite/indefinite articles should be in lower case.
Internet References:
National Bioethics Advisory Commission (NBAC). 2001. /Ethical and Policy Issues in International Research: Clinical Trials in Developing Countries./ Bethesada, MD: NBAC. Available at:

• Provide a ‘date last accessed’ against each website address – see above for style
• They should be clearly laid out as shown above
• Be sure to include the following – Author/date of publication/last update (usually there is a date on the website)/title of piece/place of publication (either place of publication of hard copy or head office of publisher if online source only)/URL/date last accessed
For immediately repeating footnotes use:
Ibid. (Ibid: page number. - in the case of a direct quote)
e.g. 3 Ibid: 223.
For repeated footnotes not immediately following previous footnote use:
Author's surname, /op. cit./ note (give previous note number), pp. (give page numbers).
e.g. 3 Chervenak & McCullough, /op. cit./ note 1, p.444.
Up to 3 authors - all authors should be listed in the first instance. Over 3 authors – first author plus ‘et al.’
In any repeated reference: Up to 2 authors – both authors should be listed. Over 2 authors – first author plus ‘et al.’
When linking authors in footnotes, ampersands (&) should be used rather than ‘and’.
NB: Please do not use multiple footnotes in the text (i.e. 1,2,3). Use one footnote for multiple references, where required, for example:
J. Steiner & M.A. Earnest. The Language of Medication-Taking. /Ann Intern Med/ 2000; 132: 926-930; C. Cameron. Patient Compliance: Recognition of Factors Involved and Suggestions for Promoting Compliance with Therapeutic Regimens. /J Adv Nurs/ 1996; 24: 248; D. Lowry. Issues of Noncompliance in Mental Health. /J Adv Nurs/ 1998; 28: 280-287.

This is the link for instructions to authors, but it doesn't look correct. The copy and pasted instructions above are correct.
I'll have a go at this, but I would appreciate if you could get me the required things for a style request. ISSNs and link to documentation and also fix those italizations. Hard to read like that.
Is this a numeric or note style?
Here is an open-access paper. How do they manage to have in-text numbers and then the notes on the bottom of each page?

Check out the style on the repository https://www.zotero.org/styles
In any event, here is the link that you need to click to get to the DWB code:

And here's the relevant thread about DWB: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/325869#Comment_325869.
Hope this helps @Jdelston and anyone else who is interested/baffled by the citation formatting at Bioethics.
