Upgrade StorageNew style - Cureus
Hi, I'm trying to make a new style based on ICMJE.
My understanding is that this style is essentially Vancouver (brackets) except
"If more than seven authors, insert “et al.” after the first three authors." (currently et al appears after 6 authors).
Also "The DOI number should be added to the end of the reference, if available. The “DOI” abbreviation should not be included."
https://www.cureus.com/author_guide#references-section
Is this pretty easy to do using the style editor in Zotero? I haven't used that tool and I'm not sure how to edit the code; maybe someone can help?
Should we just make a new Cureus style? Or does this style already exist just labeled as something else?
Also there's an EndNote style provided on that author guidelines page but I'm unable to attach it here.
Thanks

I counter your question, have you tried to use the StyleEditor?
Start with this guide: https://github.com/citation-style-language/csl-editor/wiki/User-guide-for-the-CSL-Editor
We can then help with specific questions that you have.
Once your style is finished you can add it to the repository so other users can also use it: https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
(The EndNote file will not help.)
The editor is actually found here:
https://editor.citationstyles.org/about/
Couple questions:
1. I tried changing the et al minimum to 7 and the et al first use to 3 on the global variables but when I downloaded the style and opened in Zotero it still showed six authors before et al. How do I fix this?
2. How do I add the DOI to an existing style?
Which style are you basing yours on? Then we can actually answer your questions.
Just created a pull request for the "Cureus" style. Hopefully I did everything correctly.
Also, add the link to the style you use as a template with rel="template" and also a link to the citation guidelines. Currently still got the one to BMJ.
Any further discussion can be on the PR.
Only thing I can't figure out how to do is move the accessed date for webpages to before the link. Website reference should look like this:
1. FDA: Beware of ‘black henna’ tattoos. (2013). Accessed: September 24, 2020: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2013/03/26/fda-beware-of-black-henna-tattoos/.
Can someone please take a look and let me know what's going on?
Thanks
