Acta radiologica Reference style
Dear
May I ask for the reference style for Acta Radiologica Journal, please? Although, it is principally a Vancouver style, It has a lot of tricky points I received on acceptance of a manuscript there for the second revision.

Appreciate your kind response. Here are the guidelines for their Reference styles. They enlisting it for the end note users on this link:

However, I am a Zotero fan. hope this would be beneficial.

I appreciate your kind offer to help. I got two emails addressing the issue of reference styles after I used the Acta pathologica and AJR from Zotero repository as I felt they are the nearest to it yet both didn't work.
Here are the comments.
"9) Reference list
- Only 3 authors can be named, if more delete the rest and add "et al."
- There should always be a period after the number of the ref. in the list.
- There should be a period after the name of last author/et al., not a colon."
"The reference list needs your attention and must be corrected to be in accordance with our guidelines:
- There should be no period after the name of the journal.
- Remove reference to issue.
- Ref. to the last page must be written in full.
- Write e.g. ref. 1 as: "...2001;7: 223-234." Revise all refs. accordingly.
- Remove "AJR", write "Am j Roentgenol" only."
Also I quote their reference styles from their instructions to the author section as follows:
" References
References should follow the Vancouver format. In the text they should appear as numbers starting at (1) within parentheses. At the end of the paper they should be listed (double-spaced) in numerical order corresponding to the order of citation in the text. All authors should be quoted for papers with up to three authors; for papers with more than three authors, list the first three followed by 'et al.'. Abbreviations for titles of medical periodicals should conform to those used in the latest edition of Index Medicus. The first and last page numbers for each reference must be provided. This applies to all published material including textbooks. The year followed by ";", volume followed by ":" and the pages; the issue should not be mentioned. Abstracts and letters must be identified as such. The DOI number should be listed for articles that have been accepted for publication but have not yet been.
Hope these would be satisfactory and thank you in advance.

With those, we can quickly search our existing library of CSL styles for any that produce output similar to what's desired, using http://editor.citationstyles.org/searchByExample/.
(and as @LiborA already mentioned, the central CSL style repository is maintained by a very small group of volunteers, so we ask you to do as much as possible, so that we're not overwhelmed with the volume of incoming requests)
