Citation style numbered AND alphabetically ordered with year in brackets after author

Hey guys,

for my dissertation I need to use a style that is numbered AND alphabetically ordered with year in brackets after the authors.

example for journal:
- authors, authors, authors (year) title. journal 66(issue): 119-121(pages)
for example:
- Moritz AR, Zamchek N (1946) Sudden and unexpected death of young soldiers. Arch Pathol 42: 459- 494

or for books (1st) and monography (2nd) (sorry it´s in German)

- Janssen W, Naeve W (1975) Der plötzliche Tod aus natürlicher Ursache. In: Müller B (Hrsg) Gerichtliche Medizin. Springer, Berlin Heidelberg New York, Bd 1, 2. Aufl. S 248-304

- Wilske J. (1984) Der plötzliche Säuglingstod, Morphologische Abgrenzung, Pathomechanismus und Folgerungen für die Praxis, Springer, Berlin Heidelberg New York Toronto

It should look like this with the authors written in fat:

[6] Becker K, Bierbaum G, von Eiff C, Engelmann S, Gotz F, Hacker J, Hecker M, Peters G, Rosenstein R, Ziebuhr W (2007) Understanding the physiology and adaptation of staphylococci: a post-genomic approach. Int J Med Microbiol 297(7-8):483-501.
[7] Becton-Dickinson-Diagnostics (2008) BD GeneOhm MRSA Assay. DOPS03-09-V3M1 ed. In: Québec, Heidelberg u.a. S 25-35.
[8] Bishop EJ, Grabsch EA, Ballard SA, Mayall B, Xie S, Martin R, Grayson ML (2006) Concurrent analysis of nose and groin swab specimens by the IDI-MRSA PCR assay is comparable to analysis by individual- specimen PCR and routine culture assays for detection of colonization by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. J Clin Microbiol 44(8):2904-8.



In my dissertation text itself there should be the numbers of the citations in square brackets, e.g.:
.... as some studies recently have shown [58, 68, 94, 106].

I did not find that yet, can you help me?
It is a little like the style:
Medical Microbiology and Immunology

But that one is not numbered after alphabetical order of the authors and does not have the authors written in fat..

Thanks in advance!!
  • I don't think anyone will be able to code the style for you, but here's a list of (almost) all numeric styles that sort alphabetically, that should at least narrow the search and/or give you something useful to start with for editing using editor.citationstyles.org

    @Joshfitness: Medical Microbiology and Immunology is dependent on springer basic brackets. So you can start with "springer basic brackets no et-al alphabetical style". Download this style and change lines in Notepad or similar application.

    On line 80 change:
    <text variable="citation-number" suffix=". "/>
    to
    <text variable="citation-number" prefix="[" suffix="] "/>

    On line 23 change:
    <name sort-separator=" " initialize-with="" name-as-sort-order="all" delimiter=", " delimiter-precedes-last="always"/>
    to
    <name sort-separator=" " initialize-with="" name-as-sort-order="all" delimiter=", " delimiter-precedes-last="always" font-weight="bold"/>
  • Thanks guys, I already tried and it looks much more what it needs to be now!

    Need to sort 1 or 2 more things out later.

    I´ll keep you updated, thank you again so far!
  • You are welcome :)

    Is this request common for any specific journal/institution or it is only for your thesis?
  • It is common for all the medical students of my university as we are supposed to use this specific style... As of now we just searched for the closest style available and then edited it by hand or used another citation tool. But I find zotero very useful, that´s why I asked about it!
