Editing biblatex with specific format

Question

I am try to publish my academic article in this journal https://link.springer.com/journal/10618. In instruction for authors they need reference citation to be like this:

Bailey N, Kapetanios G, Pesaran M H (2016) Exponent of cross-sectional dependence: estimation and inference. Journal of Applied Econometrics 31: 929-960. https://doi.org/10.1002/jae.2476

I am using biblatex to list my citations. I am get the citation by it is different from what journal want. But this is what I am getting:

Bailey, Natalia, George Kapetanios, and M Hashem Pesaran (2016). "Exponent of Cross-Sectional Dependence: Estimation and Inference". In: Journal of Applied Econometrics 31.6, pp. 929-960. https://doi.org/10.1002/jae.2476

This is my Latex code:

 \documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
 \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
 \usepackage[style=authoryear,citetracker=true,maxcitenames=1]{biblatex}
 \AtEveryCitekey{\ifciteseen{}{\defcounter{maxnames}{2}}}
 \addbibresource{GoScholarRef.bib}
 \title{\texttt{biblatex}}

 \begin{document}
 \maketitle

  This is a simple text to test citation \parencite{bailey2016exponent} blah bla.

 \printbibliography
 \end{document}

And this is my biblatex file:

   @article{bailey2016exponent,
   title={Exponent of Cross-Sectional Dependence: Estimation and Inference},
   author={Bailey, Natalia and Kapetanios, George and Pesaran, M Hashem},
   journal={Journal of Applied Econometrics},
   volume={31},
   number={6},
   pages={929--960},
   year={2016},
   publisher={Wiley Online Library}
   doi = {https://doi.org/10.1002/jae.2476}
   }

How can I fix my code to get the exact citation format ?

The link does not quite work. Have you made sure that they can accept a submission using biblatex? Many publishers use workflows that can for technical reasons not involve biblatex. See https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/12175/35864. Do they maybe have a .bst file you could use? — moewe, Apr 08 '18 at 12:39
Thank you for your answer, fixed journal link, Springer did provide a bibliography citation style just EndNote format. But they need articles in latex format. @moewe — medo0070, Apr 08 '18 at 12:50
Still you should double-check that they can accept biblatex. You may have to go back to BibTeX or a fully manual bibliography if not. — moewe, Apr 08 '18 at 12:52
In the instructions on http://www.springer.com/computer/database+management+%26+information+retrieval/journal/10618 there is no comma before the parentheses around the year. Are you sure there must be one? — moewe, Apr 08 '18 at 12:59
they did not mentioned it in the instruction. Unfortunately BibTeX did not helped me to list the above style. Editing is bit difficult. — medo0070, Apr 08 '18 at 13:04
Yes you are right. Thank your for your notice, I fixed the post. — medo0070, Apr 08 '18 at 13:06
I have added an answer that implements what you asked for in your example. But please keep in mind that this is a Q&A site and as such questions that are about one particular problem (like "how can I remove the 'in:' before the journal title") are far better suited to this format than 'please create this style for me'. If you split up what you want into several bits, you'll find that much of what you need has been answered on this site already. You can in general not expect people to write a complete style for you. — moewe, Apr 08 '18 at 13:10
Thank you very much for your help. I will keep in my mind these tips in my future questions. :) @moewe — medo0070, Apr 08 '18 at 13:22

You should double-check with the journal if they can accept biblatex submissions. See Biblatex: submitting to a journal

Here is a start that implements the example you gave following guidance from http://www.springer.com/computer/database+management+%26+information+retrieval/journal/10618?print_view=true&detailsPage=pltci_2554736

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[style=authoryear-comp, citetracker=true, maxcitenames=1, giveninits, terseinits, uniquename=init]{biblatex}
\AtEveryCitekey{\ifciteseen{}{\defcounter{maxnames}{2}}}

\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@article{bailey2016exponent,
  title={Exponent of Cross-Sectional Dependence: Estimation and Inference},
  author={Bailey, Natalia and Kapetanios, George and Pesaran, M Hashem},
  journal={Journal of Applied Econometrics},
  volume={31},
  number={6},
  pages={929--960},
  year={2016},
  doi = {10.1002/jae.2476}
}
\end{filecontents}

\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}

\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{family-given}
\renewcommand*{\revsdnamepunct}{}
\DeclareDelimAlias{finalnamedelim}{multinamedelim}

\DeclareDelimFormat[bib,biblist]{nametitledelim}{\addspace}

\DeclareFieldFormat*{title}{#1}
\DeclareFieldFormat*{journaltitle}{#1}
\DeclareFieldFormat*{booktitle}{#1}
\DeclareFieldFormat*{maintitle}{#1}

\renewbibmacro{in:}{%
  \ifentrytype{article}{}{\printtext{\bibstring{in}\intitlepunct}}}

\renewbibmacro*{publisher+location+date}{%
  \printlist{publisher}%
  \setunit*{\addcomma\space}%
  \printlist{location}%
  \setunit*{\addcomma\space}%
  \usebibmacro{date}%
  \newunit}

\renewcommand*{\bibpagespunct}{\ifentrytype{article}{\addcolon}{\addcomma\space}}
\DeclareFieldFormat[article,periodical]{pages}{#1}

\DeclareFieldFormat{doi}{\url{https://doi.org/#1}}

\DeclareSourcemap{
  \maps[datatype=bibtex]{
    \map{
      \pertype{article}
      \step[fieldset=number, null]
   }
  }
}

\renewcommand*{\finentrypunct}{}

\begin{document}
lorem \parencite{bailey2016exponent,knuth:ct:a,sigfridsson,worman,nussbaum,westfahl:space,gaonkar:in,companion}

\printbibliography
\end{document}

Thank you for answer. Can split .bib to a separate file without using \usepackage{filecontents} ? Sorry for keep asking I am new to latex and try to learn bit by bit. — medo0070, Apr 08 '18 at 13:31
@medo0070 In general yes. filecontents is only used to make the example self-contained. If you want to submit a .tex file to your journal it depends - most journals don't want a .bib file and need a .bbl instead, in which case you can't use biblatex as mentioned in the link. — moewe, Apr 08 '18 at 13:35
