Style Request: Epidemiology & Psychiatric Sciences

Dear Members,

I would like to request an additional style for the Journal Epidemiology and Psychiatric Sciences.

I provide example citations from the author guidelines below (https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/epidemiology-and-psychiatric-sciences/information/author-instructions/preparing-your-materials)

I'm not an expert on Harvard style either, but as for as I can tell the principal difference is that Harvard uses et al. after a three or four authors, this journal wants that after two. See only difference I've noticed?

The Harvard (author date) system should be used in the text and a complete list of References cited given at the end of the article. In a text citation of a work by more than two authors cite the first author's name followed by et al. (but the names of all of the authors should be given in the References section). Where several references are cited together they should be listed in rising date order.

The References section should be in alphabetical order. Examples follow:

Brown GW (1974) Meaning, measurement and stress of life events. In Stressful Life Events: Their Nature and Effects (ed. BS Dohrenwend and BP Dohrenwend), pp. 217-244. John Wiley: New York.

Brown J (1970) Psychiatric Research. Smith: Glasgow.

Brown J, Williams E, Wright H (1970) Treatment of heroin addiction. Psychological Medicine 1, 134-136.

Note: authors' names should be in bold font; journal titles should always be given in full and should be in italics.

References to material published online should follow a similar style, with the URL included at the end of the reference, with the accession date, if known. Authors are requested to print out and keep a copy of any online only information, in case the URL changes or is no longer maintained. Examples follow:

Acute Health Care, Rehabilitation and Disability Prevention Research. National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. (http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/profiles/acutecare/default.htm). Accessed 7 June 2004.

British Psychological Society Research Digest, Issue 12. (http://lists.bps.org.uk/read/messages?id=1423). Accessed 17 February 2004.


Many thanks in advance!

    Okay, here are the full guidelines for in-text citation formatting and reference lists which I take from:

    https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/epidemiology-and-psychiatric-sciences/information/author-instructions/preparing-your-materials

    Cite in the text only the references that are included in the reference list. For articles by a single author, provide the surname and year of publication (e.g. Reissland, 2000). For articles published by two authors, provide both surnames, with the symbol '&' between them and the year of publication (e.g. Evans & Huxley, 2001). For articles by more than two authors, provide only the first name followed by et al. and the year of publication (e.g. Atkinson et al., 1997). If there is more than one reference by the same author(s) in the same year of publication, indicate this with letters a, b, c after year of publication both in the text and in the reference list (e.g. Jones, 1999a; Jones, 1999b; etc.). More detailed referencing instructions are found in the next section

    Here are those citations from your template in the correct format:

    In-text citation:
    (Campbell & Pedersen, 2007)
    (Mares, 2001)

    Bibliography:
    Campbell JL., & Pedersen OK (2007) The varieties of capitalism and hybrid success. Comparative Political Studies, 40(3), 307–332. https://doi.org/10.1177/0010414006286542

    According to the guidelines above aspects of these references should be in bold or or italics, but I have no idea how to apply this formatting here.
