JMB reference style

Hello all,

I am preparing a manuscript to be sent to a journal (Journal of Molecular
Biology, JMB).  The style of JMB requires that journal names appearing in the
references are abbreviated according to the American Chemical Society Service
Source Index.  The ACSSSI does not abbreviate journal names that are single
words (eg. Science).

The problem is, the JMB style requires that:

(1) if the journal name is abbreviated, there is already a dot (fullstop) at the
end and no further comma is used to separate the journal name and the volume;

(2) if the journal name is not abbreviated, a comma is used to separate the
journal name and the volume.

Examples:

Chen, Y.W. (1993). Example 1a. Science, 123, 1-2.

Chen, Y.W. (1993). Example 1b. J. Mol. Biol. 123, 1-2.


I would be grateful if anyone could help me how to edit the reference style to
do this automatically.

Wai CHEN.
