Bibliography Style Alphabetical order

guillaume.grzych

Hi,

I have to create a bibliography by alphabetical order (by author's name) using Vancouver Style,
Like that :Halpern SD, Ubel PA, Caplan AL. Solid-organ transplantation in HIV-infected patients.N Engl J Med. 2002 Jul 25;347(4):284-7.

But if reference have more than 3 authors i have to do that :
Rose ME, Huerbin MB, Melick J, et al. Regulation of interstitial excitatory amino
acid concentrations after cortical contusion injury. Brain Res. 2002;935(1-2):40-6

Moreover, in my text I have to quote like that (Author,1989) or (Author et Author 2,1989) or (Author et al,1989) if more of 2 authors.

I don't find any style could do that, Is there somebody can help me ?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,
What's this style for? A certain journal?
You can use this search to find a style: http://editor.citationstyles.org/searchByExample/

Thank !

It's not for a journal but for my Master degree ...
I found the style Elsevier Vancouver (author-date) but it don't make that :
if reference have more than 3 authors i have to do that :
Rose ME, Huerbin MB, Melick J, et al. Regulation of interstitial excitatory amino
acid concentrations after cortical contusion injury. Brain Res. 2002;935(1-2):40-6

Is it possible to change this parameter ?

Elsevier Vancouver is a numeric style ([1] in text), but what you want is an author date style.
To get the 3 authors, you'd usually want to add this in the "author" macro with the et-al-min and et-al-use-first values. For example for Elsevier-vancouver.csl it would look like this (lines 19-...):

<macro name="author">
<names variable="author">
<name delimiter-precedes-last="always" et-al-min="4" et-al-use-first="3" initialize-with="" name-as-sort-order="all" sort-separator=" "/>
<label form="long" prefix=", "/>
<substitute>
<names variable="editor"/>
<names variable="translator"/>
</substitute>
</names>
</macro>

Thank,

I found that style "Vancouver (author-date), how can I make the change in macro author, is it possible to have different rule for citation in text (2 authors max) et bibliography (3 authors max) ?

Thank a lot

in vancouver-author-date.csl change line 301 to:
<bibliography et-al-min="4" et-al-use-first="3" hanging-indent="true">

In-text it should already only give you a max of 2 authors or author et al. (et-al-min="3" et-al-use-first="1").
