Style Request: RBE - Research on Biomedical Engineering
Thank you very much for the wonderful job with Zotero and the adapted CSLs for the different journal requisites.
I writing an article to RBE Journal - Research on Biomedical Engineering.
(Online ISSN 2446-4740 Print ISSN 2446-4732)
The Journal say that it is using the style of ICJME (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors). Reading other posts and some references, I verified that this style is commonly named Vancouver, if I'm not in a mistake.
But, when I try to use it, my result doesn't fill the journal requirements.
The Vancouver Style uses the order of the citations to organize the references.
I tried the Vancouver (author-date), but the citation for more than two authors appears as (First, Second, et. al. year). The Journal asks (First et. al., year). It also ignores the doi number. But, the general format of Vancouver (author-date) is very close to the Journal Specifications.
Can someone help me please identify if there is a already made style that fill the journal requirements or if we have to make another one?
And with we have to make a new one, can someone help me with that?
Some example of the jounal requirements are cited below.
Thank you very much,
Joao Gabriel.

Citation
References must be cited in the text using the style “author data”, e.g., citations should indicate the surname of the authors and year of publication. Multiple citations should be made in alphabetical order.
Some examples:
single author: Sayers (1970); (Sayers, 1970);
two authors: Moraes and Furuie (2010); (Moraes and Furuie, 2010);
more than two authors: Ferreira et al. (1984) , (Ferreira et al., 1984);
multiple citation: Ferreira et al. (1984), Moraes and Furuie (2010) and Sayers (1970); (Ferreira et al., 1984; Moraes and Furuie, 2010; Sayers, 1970);
multiple citation of the same author and year: Santos (2003a; 2003b; 2007); (Santos, 2003a; 2003b; 2007).
List of references
The list of references should be arranged alphabetically by author’s last name. In case of more than one reference of the same authors for same year, they should be distinguished with a lowercase letter after the year (2011a, 2011b). The title of the journals should not be abbreviated. The names of all authors should be listed.

I just had a go at this. Could you test the code and see if there is any mistakes?

Thank you very much damnation! It's wonderful to have this kind of support!
I checked it and found some issues that I comment here:
On citations:
more than two authors:
(Calil, Ramírez, et al., 2000) --> (Calil et al., 2000)
(This example has 3 authors - It should omit the second author)
multiple citation of the same author and year:
(BRASIL, 1973a, 1976, 2001b, 2001a, 2010a, 2015b, 2016c) --> (BRASIL, 1973a; 1976; 2001b; 2001a; 2010a; 2015b; 2016c)
(It should use ";" between each year)

(It should place "thesis" between brackets and cite the location followed by ":").
I've made most of the changes.
Waiting to get some tips on how to add the URL when it's not published yet.
Can you check with this code if the mistakes are gone? https://raw.githubusercontent.com/damnation333/styles/769af131ff561af445dbef48ac0ca3378645440f/research-on-biomedical-engineering.csl
Great work! You fixed almost everything, thank you very much!
About the URL, this one is a real example:
Calil SJ, Ramírez EFF. ENGENHARIA CLÍNICA: PARTE I - ORIGENS (1942-1996). Semina Ciênc Exatas E Tecnológicas. 2000;21:27–33. doi: http://dx.doi.org/http://dx.doi.org/10.1006/bbrc.1994.1873.teste. --> Calil SJ, Ramírez EFF. ENGENHARIA CLÍNICA: PARTE I - ORIGENS (1942-1996). Semina Ciênc Exatas E Tecnológicas. 2000;21:27–33. Available from: http://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/semexatas/article/view/3009/2552
(The CSL are providing the doi, which is not asked by the journal, and is omitting the url)
Thank you again!
I don't get why you would want the URL there. The Calil citation has been published, in a journal, with pages and also has a DOI. That is very specific, precise and allows to find the citation.
It is exactly like the citation lined out here in the RBE guidelines (although their formatting is not uptodate):
Zaphiropoulos PG, Soderkvist P, Hedblad MA, Toftgard R. Genetic instability of microsatellite markers in region q22.3-q31 of chromosome 9 in skin squamous cell carcinomas. Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 1994; 201:1495-501. DOI: 10.1006/bbrc.1994.1873.
Or am I missing something here?
Though, @damnation we should switch the DOI prefix to just "https://doi.org/" in accordance with doi.org and CrossRef display guidelines. Having both "doi:" and the URL prefix violates CrossRef's display guidelines and is strongly discouraged.
Yes, you are right. I got your point. In this specific case, we don't need to cite the URL.
Even though, the CSL Style is ignoring the field URL. I tested in a hypothetical case, only excluding the DOI and checking if the URL is presented. Can't we include this option?
The journal has this specification:
Online Journal Article
Author(s). Article title. Journal Title [Medium]. Date of publication [cited Date];Volume Number(Issue Number):Page numbers. Available from: URL
Abood S. Quality improvement initiative in nursing homes: the ANA acts in an advisory role. Am J Nurs [internet]. 2002 Jun [cited 2002 Aug 12]; 102(6):[about 1 p.]. Available from: http://www.nursingworld.org/AJN/2002/june/Wawatch.htmArticle.
But, even without that, you made a great work! Thank you very much, you saved me a lot of time making this arrangements! And I expect that your work will help a lot of other writers of this journal.
I'm been working with this new CSL and it's getting the job very well.
Today I found one entrance that isn't formatted correctly.
In journal references we find:
Conference
Author(s). Title of paper. In: Editor A, Editor B, Editors. Title of Published Proceedings: Proceedings of the Title of Conference: subtitle of Conference; Year Month Date; Location. Place of publication: Publisher; Year. p. inclusive page numbers.

EuroGP 2002: Proceedings of the 5th European Conference on Genetic Programming; 2002 Apr 3-5; Kinsdale, Ireland. Berlin: Springer; 2002. p. 182-91.
Our CSL is giving:
Souza A, More R. O PERFIL DO PROFISSIONAL ATUANTE EM ENGENHARIA CLÍNICA NO BRASIL. A Engenharia Biomédica como Propulsora de Desenvolvimento e Inovação Tecnológica em Saúde, Uberlândia - MG: UFU - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia; 2014, p. 1086–90.
Where it should give:
Souza A, More R. O PERFIL DO PROFISSIONAL ATUANTE EM ENGENHARIA CLÍNICA NO BRASIL. A Engenharia Biomédica como Propulsora de Desenvolvimento e Inovação Tecnológica em Saúde: Proceedings of the XXIV Congresso Brasileiro de Engenharia Biomédica – CBEB; 2014 Oct 13-17; Uberlândia, Brasil. Uberlândia: UFU - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia; 2014. p. 1086–1090.
If someone have time to correct our CSL, it can be more useful for other users.
Thank you very much,
Best regards,
João Gabriel.
Can you advise on this here?
For the conference, I'd be inclined to add the whole "Proceedings of the XXIV Congresso Brasileiro de Engenharia Biomédica – CBEB" into the proceedings title (which is what it is). You (that is @joaodelsolar ) could even consider adding the date and location, in which case the citation will come out correctly.
* I think it might be possible to work around this with the Extra field now, but not sure.
Put this in the Extra field:
event-place: Uberlândia, Brasil
event-date: 2014-10-13/2014-10-17
And then separately specify 'issued' and 'event-date' in your CSL.
I agree that you should put the "proceedings of..." in the proceedings title field, but it might be convenient to store the location and event date separately in case a user or style wants to omit those details.
