maximum of three authors in bibliography

T.Augustin · July 20, 2020

Hello,
I'm just working on a paper for submission. The journal asks for a maximum of three authors in the bibliography. The rest should be summarized within et al.. I'm using the Vancouver citation style. Is there any version of the Vancouver style that solves my problem?
Thank you.

If there is errors in the style, let me know.

Thanks, but there are still more than 3 authors shown in the references... (no et al.)

And if the article is published online the want to see the DOI instead of the page number... but the DOI ist also not shown with the thyroid citation style

(you can edit posts here. No need for double posts. ;) )

I have submitted a fix for the et-al settings and that DOIs are given for articles ahead of print.

You can give it a test ride.
Right click, save as .csl and install in Zotero: https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/raw/68e84cb7390a9c34db1dcf5c97cf4ed0f20405ef/thyroid.csl

That's also not working... maybe i'm doing something wrong, but i don't know how to do it right

You need to describe the problem. "not working" is not sufficient.

T.Augustin · July 21, 2020

NOthing has changed, there are still more than three authors and no DOI

Then you didn't install the style correctly.
If you can wait a few days, then my style will be merged to the repository and your style will update automatically.

Update your Zotero or grab the newest style from the repository and update your document. It has been merged.
