Style templates collection

Authors are formatted, like Smith A., Doe, J., Gates, W.,…

This style represents a very pupular format, including APA 5th and Harvard style.

Bibliography of these formats are sorted by “Author+Year”. 

Once again, Journal abbreviation has been changed to “Don’t replace”. I suggest to check journal abbreviation format carefully, and make necessary changes.

Authors are formatted in the same way, like Smith A., Doe, J., Gates, W.,…

However, bibliography is sorted by “Appearance”, as indicated by “Ap” in the file name.

This style includes the one used to be for PNAS. Some journals still follow this styles, but less popular.

However, Year is not enclosed in parentheses in these styles. This is also a very pupular format, and many similar formats are available. Bibliography is usually sorted by “Author+Year”.

This is “Vancouver” style and variants. Many biomedical journals including BMC use this format. They are almost always “Appearance order” bibliography, except for the one used by Am J Physiology. Because I use of this format frequently, I post many variations.

Generally, Vancouver style looks like this:

Authors are formatted like, Smith AG, Doe JC, Gates WA, …

Then, title journal year volume page follows.

Depending on the journal/publisher, each element is emphasized by bold and/or italic. Issue number is often included, but authors very often disregard issue number, and they are not shown in the actual references in articles.

More Vancouve variants. BMC uses Vancouver without issue number, but BMC Neuroscience has issue number. Practically, they are all the same because authors often dismiss issue number anyway.
