keep getting the wrong style

Hi,

I writing an article using EndNote X4, I need to use BMJ style for this paper. I have downloaded their style template, where it is instracted to:

"BMJ reference style:

List the names and initials of all authors if there are 3 or fewer; otherwise list the first 3 and add ‘et al.’ (The exception is the Journal of Medical Genetics, which lists all authors). Use one space only between words up to the year and then no spaces. The journal title should be in italic and abbreviated according to the style of Medline. If the journal is not listed in Medline then it should be written out in full.

Exemple:

Koziol-Mclain J, Brand D, Morgan D, et al. Measuring injury risk factors: question reliability in a statewide sample. Inj Prev 2000;6:148–50."

but i keep getting this style:

Warren AC, Chakravarti A, Wong C, et al. Evidence for reduced recombination on the nondisjoined chromosomes 21 in Down syndrome. Science 1987; 237 (4815):652-4

even though it shows that i’m using the right style.

What can I do?

Thanks for your help

From your example it looks like the bibliography template needs to be modified to italicize the journal name, non-bold volume number, and exclude issue numbers. Is this correct?

Yes, this is correct.

And of course there are different instructions for every type of source: journal, book. etc.

that’s why I don’t want to manually chance the style, I just what it work automatically. This is the main reason I am working with EndNote.

Is there anything I can do?

Thank you for the great attempt to help!

Unfortunately, I do need the BMJ style, since it’s for one of their papers and not the BMJ itself. The paper is Journal of medical genetics.

It’s not possible to add the direct link (I keep getting “wrong HTML file”) so i’m adding the link in the attached file.

  

Thank you once again
