biblatex-cse – Council of Science Editors (CSE) style file for BibLaTeX

This is a BibLaTeX style that implements the bibliography style of the Council of Science Editors (CSE) for BibLaTeX. I did this style file by request of a user of my LaTeX template novathesis. He was quite thorough, double and triple checking that the output was conforming to the requirements of his University (Faculty of Veterinary from the University of Lisbon). Although this biblatex-cse style served the requirements from his University, there may still be some unconformities to the CSE style. If you find any, please open an issue in the project’s page on GitHub or, even better, submit a pull request.
