Style Error:[EYE]

First, I apologize for double-posting. I just read that errors to styles in the repository should be posted in the forum in this manner....

The ophthalmology journal, Eye, is listed in the Zotero repository, however the style is incorrect. Eye is a Nature journal and the style in the repository follows the standard Nature style. The problem is Eye actually does not use the standard Nature style...

The link to their guide for authors is here: http://mts-eye.nature.com/cgi-bin/main.plex?form_type=display_auth_instructions

The style is very similar to JAMA's. The differences being:
-3 authors before et al
-No italics or periods in journal name
-Single space between semicolon and volume "year; xx"
-Single space between colon and page numeber ": xxx-yyy"

An example:
Eide N, Refsum SB, Bakke S. Primary malignant melanoma of the lacrimal sac. Acta Ophthalmol (Copenh) 1993; 71: 273–276.


Thank you SO much for any help you're able to provide.
Best,
Josh

    download using the Raw link at the top right.
    Install by dragging to an open FF window.
    Please report back here in any case - with any problems or if the style is ready to go into the repository.
    I found sth. different for et al: start et al from 7 authors and always list the first six.
  • Looks great! Thanks so much for your very, very prompt help with this. Looks to me like it's read for the repository.

    Thanks again.
