Upgrade StorageStyle Request: Medical Physics
I'm preparing a manuscript for publication in Medical Physics, and it doesn't appear that there is a style exactly matching this journal.
I think it's the same as American Institute of Physics (AIP), but with some differences for articles:
Add a title, in double quotes
Include full page range, instead of only starting page
The instructions to author are available here: http://www.medphys.org/NewInstructions.asp
"References: References should be assigned consecutive numbers as they occur in the body of the text. They should also be listed in the same order on a separate sheet. Titles of articles, complete lists of authors, and inclusive pagination must be included. References must be in the accessible, archival literature. “Private Communications” and commercial identifications and manuals are not appropriate for the reference list, but can be identified as footnotes to the text.. References should be submitted in the following formats:
1G. Kürbitz, “Electro-optic imaging,” in The Optics Encyclopedia: Basic Foundations and Practical Applications, Vol. 1, edited by Th.G. Brown, K. Creath, H. Kogelnik, M.A. Kriss, J. Schmit, M.J. Weber (Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, 2004), pp. 549-585.
2G. Pang and J.A. Rowlands, “X-ray imaging: A novel direct-conversion design and its feasibility,” Med. Phys. 31, 3004-3016 (2004).
3W.R. Hendee, G.S. Ibbott, E.G. Hendee, Radiation Therapy Physics, 3rd ed. (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 2004).
4W. Hendee, “Meet the Expert Session: Imaging Physics,” presented at the 50th Annual Meeting of the AAPM, Houston, TX, July 27-31, 2008.
A list of standard abbreviations for journal names appears in the AIP Style Manual. Additionally, potential authors can use software tools to format references correctly and abide by the Journal’s guidelines. Such a tool is Endnote, developed by Thomson Scientific, that can be accessed here.
Authors are urged to exclude unnecessary and/or incomplete references"
Thanks in advance for any help.

If you are able to do some nice modification don't hesitate to send them to me!!!

However, with this style, a multiquote appears like 1234 instead of 1-4, which is the usual format in this journal.
Thank you all for your support!
<citation>
<layout>
<choose>
<else>
<text variable="citation-number" prefix="" suffix="" vertical-align="sup"/>
</else>
</choose>
</layout>
</citation>
and change it to
<citation collapse="citation-number">
<layout vertical-align="sup" delimiter=",">
<text variable="citation-number" vertical-align="sup"/>
</layout>
</citation>
But you're likely to find more problems with the style, not all of them as quick to fix.
Here is the link of the .csl, and used the same information as cited before to install it.
If you do modify it for book don't hesitate to share it.

- use of et al. (you need to cite every author)
- ; between author
- The journal is in italic instead or normal
- . at the end
There is no ; between authors, nor should there be.
The et-al follows the practice in published article, the instructions say nothing about et al.
There is a period at the end of every bibliography entry as their should be.
In a multiple citation, sometimes the order of the numbers is a bit strange, for example 14,4,15 (I think the most natural order would be 4,14,15).
For some reason, with that style, in some references all the authors are shwon, while in others only the first one followed by "et al". I have revised the "instruction to authors" and they say "Titles of articles, complete lists of authors, and inclusive pagination must be included".
For et al, as I say above, I follow what the journal does, see e.g.
