Thanks for getting all the info together. We'll have a look at this over the next few days. Do check back here in case we have questions.
There is some quite good matches already on the repository btw: http://editor.citationstyles.org/searchByExample/
The style you referred to is not bad but still has some variations I don't want to change by hand.
I am looking forward to your work.
greetings
Matthias
Check this out: https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=id:zeitschrift-fur-allgemeinmedizin
The journal guidelines are a bit inconclusive about Hrsg vs Eds., but I've set the style to German as it looks like they only publish in German. Let me know if you find some mistakes.
This style was so nice and fast to make as all the necessary info was provided! I wish everybody was like that!
Looks like almost everything fits nicely.
You are right. Most is published in German. But some articles like this one (https://www.online-zfa.de/article/dementia-recognition-and-cognitive-performance-in-relation-to-elderly-patients-social-integration/der-besondere-artikel-special-article/y/m/2608) is in English. As I got it: Hrsg or Eds is used whether it is a German or English book respectively.
And please could you set it to "et al." instead of "u.a.". We also use this Latin abbr . Thank you very much!
