Style Request: [Critical Care Medicine]

This request could fill two needs, as the main journal (Critical Care Medicine) is also the parent journal for Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, which uses the same, and thus dependent, style.

The Critical Care Medicine style is very similar to the style of:

• American Journal of Psychiatry [Install] 2009-01-24 13:04:19

which is in the Zotero Style Repository.


The modifications I had to make from the AJ Psychiatry style to prepare my manuscript for Critical Care Medicine were as follows:

- cut to 3 authors and add et al,
- italicized abbreviated journal name
- in citation numbering in text (not reference list), individual numbers need to be seperated with commas, rather than semicolons (as in AJP)

For instance, here is a set of references using the AJ Psychiatry style:

String (1-4). Two (5; 6). One (6).

1. Wong HR, Shanley TP, Sakthivel B, Cvijanovich N, Lin R, Allen GL, Thomas NJ, Doctor A, Kalyanaraman M, Tofil NM, Penfil S, Monaco M, Tagavilla MA, Odoms K, Dunsmore K, Barnes M, Aronow BJ: Genome-level expression profiles in pediatric septic shock indicate a role for altered zinc homeostasis in poor outcome. Physiol Genomics 2007; 30:146-55

2. Whitley E, Ball J: Statistics review 4: sample size calculations. Crit Care 2002; 6:335-41

3. Menten P, Wuyts A, Van Damme J: Macrophage inflammatory protein-1. Cytokine Growth Factor Rev 2002; 13:455-81

4. Watson RS, Carcillo JA: Scope and epidemiology of pediatric sepsis. Pediatr Crit Care Med 2005; 6:S3-5

5. Maurer M, von Stebut E: Macrophage inflammatory protein-1. Int J Biochem Cell Biol 2004; 36:1882-6

6. Shanley TP, Cvijanovich N, Lin R, Allen GL, Thomas NJ, Doctor A, Kalyanaraman M, Tofil NM, Penfil S, Monaco M, Odoms K, Barnes M, Sakthivel B, Aronow BJ, Wong HR: Genome-level longitudinal expression of signaling pathways and gene networks in pediatric septic shock. Mol Med 2007; 13:495-508


And here are the same references, after modification to meet the Critical Care Medicine style (though you have to imagine that the abbreviated journal names are italicized, as I can't do that on this post):

String (1-4). Two (5, 6). One (6).

1. Wong HR, Shanley TP, Sakthivel B, et al: Genome-level expression profiles in pediatric septic shock indicate a role for altered zinc homeostasis in poor outcome. Physiol Genomics 2007; 30:146-55

2. Whitley E, Ball J: Statistics review 4: sample size calculations. Crit Care 2002; 6:335-41

3. Menten P, Wuyts A, Van Damme J: Macrophage inflammatory protein-1. Cytokine Growth Factor Rev 2002; 13:455-81

4. Watson RS, Carcillo JA: Scope and epidemiology of pediatric sepsis. Pediatr Crit Care Med 2005; 6:S3-5

5. Maurer M, von Stebut E: Macrophage inflammatory protein-1. Int J Biochem Cell Biol 2004; 36:1882-6

6. Shanley TP, Cvijanovich N, Lin R, et al: Genome-level longitudinal expression of signaling pathways and gene networks in pediatric septic shock. Mol Med 2007; 13:495-508

Here is the link to Critical Care Medicine's Author Instruction page, which includes their style guide:

Having this (or these, if Pediatric Critical Care Medicine was developed as a dependent style) style available would be great.

Thanks,

    I uploaded both styles to the Zotero Style Repository, in which the three changes you outlined were made. They should appear shortly.
