CSE Style - I could use some help tweaking what Zotero has

Hi Everyone,
I need to use CSE style, and have found on Zotero a good start

Council of Science Editors, Citation-Name (numeric, sorted alphabetically)(2019-08-06 04:37:16)

It has what I need in that numbers identify the references in the text, and then the reference list at the end is sorted alphabetically.

However, I need quite a few changes
-my author names bolded,
-the date should include only the year
-For online resources, the source needs to start the citation, for example, United States -Department of Agriculture [Internet]
-there needs to be NO punctuation after the article title, before the journal name,
-[accessed DATE] needs to be changed to [cited DATE]
-and the words "Available at:" need to come before the URL.
Anyone know how I can make this happen?
Thanks!
  • What exactly is this for? Those are a fair amount of changes, so you're basically asking for a custom style.
  • Hi Adam, This is for publication in LAS Pro. I will go back to the directions now and add more information as well.
    Thanks!

    This journal doesn't seem to really know what they're doing. Stating that one should use CSE, but then have their own house-style is one thing, but then they have quite some discrepancies between their guidelines and what actually is published. And between articles there are some differences, too.
    I have made this style that you can certainly use now to send your manuscript in. Use that and tell the editors that their guidelines vs publications is not consistent and that there is this citation style now that you used. We can then make some smaller edits, once we get some clarification. Just write here and we can align everything then.
