Oral Oncology style error

claireraison

I have installed the Oral Oncology style but it does not match the style given in the instructions to authors:

I'd really appreciate some help in updating it as I'm a biochemist who has never done any coding before. Many thanks.

in other words - apart from the volume number in bold, what's not right?

claireraison

Thank you for your reply.

As well as the volume number in bold, the reference numbers within the text should be superscript. Also they should be grouped like this: 1,2 or 1-3. At the moment, the style puts them in the text as (1), (2) or (1), (2), (3) for example.

use the "multiple sources" button. Zotero already does the grouping correctly.

Thanks for the multiple sources tip.

The journal title should also be in italics, sorry I didn't put this in my previous post.

OK, it' up on the repository - give it a try and let me know how it goes.

Dear Adam, I just downloaded the Oral Oncology style from the repository and I think it still doesn't correspond to the Journal's guidelines:
- the citations are like (1) but should be superscript 1
- the journal name are not italic but should be italic
- the volumje numbers are not bold but should be bold

I was wondering if you could help me (and others) by updating it? That would be super helpful!!
Many thanks!

( I am using zotero standalone and the word plugin, if that makes any difference)

adamsmith

odd - somehow the new style was removed from the repo - I don't have time to track down right now what happened (my guess is that I forgot to remove the dependent style and one of Rintze's scripts removed the wrong style).
In any case, until I get around to fixing this, you can download the correct style from here;

thanks so much for the link! It's almost perfect (just missing the italics for the journal names)

Rintze

Yeah, that was me. Should be fixed now.

Hi Rintze, thanks a lot for replying so fast! I downloaded the style from the original link (https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/raw/94a88edd8f9658f0eddc491d27d57093c53d06c7/oral-oncology.cs) but i still have the journal names not in italic.

Could you please send me the link to the good file? Thanks a bunch!! Laura

If I use any other links you provided to download the styles there, Zotero gives me an error message: "oral-oncology (5).csl does not appear to be a valid style file."

adamsmith

that slipped through when I coded the style. Someone will have to put this in - if I'm going to do it it'll be a little while.

adamsmith

ignore Rintze's links - those just show activity on the repository, where the almost correct oral oncology style is now available.

lss

thanks for the explanation! I will use this style.

adamsmith

a fixed style (with italics) is now up.
