Style request: adapting BLOOD citation style

Can someone help me with adapting citation style of Blood.

Current style:
Lenhoff S, Hjorth M, Holmberg E, e.a. Impact on survival of high-dose therapy with autologous stem cell support in patients younger than 60 years with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma: a population-based study. nordic myeloma study group. Blood. 2000;95:7-11.

Journal requests:
Lenhoff S, Hjorth M, Holmberg E, et al. Impact on survival of high-dose therapy with autologous stem cell support in patients younger than 60 years with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma: a population-based study. Blood. 2000;95(1):7–11.

Differences:
Is should be et al. instead of e.a.
nordic myeloma study group. should not be in it
Journal name (blood in this case) should be in italic
2000;95:7-11. It should be: 2000;95(1):7–11. Issue number is missing.

Explanation of the journal:
Include the article title (capitalized sentence style and ending with a period), journal name (italicized and abbreviated according to Index Medicus), year (followed by a semicolon), volume number, issue number in parentheses (followed by a colon), and inclusive page numbers (followed by a period).

Begin each reference with the author list. List each author’s surname followed by a space and a set of initials closed up without periods; include a hyphen if applicable. Separate each author name with a comma; do not use and between any entries. If there are 1 to 6 authors, list all authors. If there are more than 6 authors, list the first 3 authors followed by et al.

This can all be found on: http://bloodjournal.hematologylibrary.org/authors/article_structure.dtl#author_list


All help would be appreciated.

  • Hi,

    > Differences:
    > Is should be et al. instead of e.a.

    On my side I got:
    Lenhoff S, Hjorth M, Holmberg E, et al. Impact on survival of high-dose therapy with autologous stem cell support in patients younger than 60 years with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma: a population-based study. nordic myeloma study group. Blood. 2000;95:7-11.

    Thus I got 'et al' as expected. I'm using Zotero 2.0.3 on Firefox 3.5.11 in English.

    I guess this is driven by 'extensions.zotero.export.bibliographyLocale' firefox settings. See:

    > nordic myeloma study group. should not be in it

    On my side 'nordic myeloma study group' is not in italic. I don't know why you have italics here...

    > Journal name (blood in this case) should be in italic

    You are right. Fixed.

    > 2000;95:7-11. It should be: 2000;95(1):7–11. Issue number is missing.

    You are right again. Fixed. Both issues fix in this version:

    As far I can see, this Zotero style has been use only once for an article in Blood thus I guess some details are missing. Thanks for reporting them.

    Regards.
