Thank you so much! Please let me know if additional information is needed.

This looks like http://www.zotero.org/styles/american-medical-association-no-url

Can you confirm? Then I'll add a dependent style on the repository so you can find this style under its name, too.

Thank you! This looks very similar. The only difference seems to be in the bibliography of book chapters. References in Medical Decision Making show publisher locations too. Please see this example (citation 11 in the open-access article example):

Fox RC. Training for uncertainty. In: Merton R, Reader GC, Kendall P, eds. The Student-Physician: Introductory Studies in the Sociology of Medical Education. Cambridge (MA): Harvard University Press; 1957:207–41

I am wondering if it is possible to make a dependent style with this difference? Please let me know if I overlooked anything or if any additional information is needed. Thank you so much!

Thanks for checking.
Actually, now I see they say "Authors are encouraged to consult Scientific Style and Format: The CSE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers (2014) throughout manuscript preparation." which is of course a style we have.

https://www.zotero.org/styles/?q=cse&format=numeric

While I could easily make a new style based on the references in that published article, I'd like to confirm this with their guidelines, but they don't show any examples. And them referencing CSE, but then the example article showing a different style makes me hesitant.

Could you clarify this with the publisher? I'd have a style ready within 5minutes then. ;)

Thanks! I saw that description too but also got confused that it does not match the actual format in the papers. I will check with the publisher and get back to you asap. Thanks!!

I just heard back from the publisher and they suggest using the CSE style, so I guess there is no need to create a different style here. Sorry for the trouble and thank you for your effort and help!!

I'll add a dependent style then that links it to CSE.
Thanks for checking with the publishers.
