Style Request - Academic Emergency Medicine
I don't have the know-how to create a style myself, it would be great if someone out there could put together a citation style for Academic Emergency Medicine. Below is their statement on how references should be formatted, with specific examples given. This is probably the same as one of the other medical journals, don't know. Thanks to any good souls who want to take this on.
10. References. Citations and references should be listed in numerical order. Every reference must be cited at least once in the text. Use the NEJM reference style: all authors up to six, article title (and subtitle, if any), journal name (with no following period), year, volume number (and issue number if the journal's pages are not numbered consecutively throughout the year), and inclusive page numbers. (Examples a and b below) When there are seven or more authors, list the first three, followed by “et al.” (Example c below) Book references should include: authors as above, chapter title, if any, editor, if any, title of book, city of publication, publisher, and year. Include volume and edition, specific pages, and translators where appropriate. (Example d below) Website references should include the most recent date of access. (Example e below) Personal communications and unpublished data should be cited in the body of the paper in parentheses, not listed in the references section. Manuscripts that have been accepted for publication may be listed as “in press”; manuscripts that have been submitted or are under revision but have not been accepted may not be cited as references. The use of abstracts that have not been published as full manuscripts is discouraged. Please do not capitalize each word in a reference title – only capitalize the first letter unless there is a proper noun or other word clearly needing capitalization in the title. Authors are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the references and text citations.

adamsmithHave you tried using the New England Journal of Medicine style like they suggest? It looks good to me, though I haven't looked closely.
-
parislovettIs it possible to use the New England Journal of Medicine style, but have superscript for the citations instead of numbers in parentheses?
-
adamsmithno. Use the Vancouver Superscript style for the time being - it's very close. I'll try to get to this soon, it's only a couple of letters to change.
