"Obestity" Style Problems

L89aura · November 15, 2014

Hi,
I am having trouble with the "Obesity" style provided by the Zotero style repository. Overall it looks fine, but the volume number is supposed to be in bold letters in case of journal references.

Besides, the web references look completely different from the author guidelines. (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/store/10.1002/%28ISSN%291930-739X/asset/homepages/Author_Guidelines_for_Obesity.pdf?v=1&s=f26a40330c65d29915eb7acda6f23a2235704a0b&isAguDoi=false)

I am new to Zotero, can anybody help me? I tried rich text formatting (zotero test pane) in case of the journal references, but somehow I can't get it right.

Thanks a lot
Laura

I checked the issues and it seems more complicated: the style guide seems not to be up-to-date: volume is not bold and also the spacing seems okay. You can look at a current article, e.g. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/oby.20830/pdf . However, I will add the case for a webpage. Maybe, you can speak with the editors of the journal about these issues.

zuphilip's fix for the style is now up - as he says, the only change is the addition of the webpage document item type.

It will appear on the style repository within 30mins.. (See here if you need instructions for installing styles in standalone.)

Let us know if you hear back from the journal or its editor.

Thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate it. I will contact the journal editors and will let you know.

Here is the response of the obesity editors:

We are in the process of updating our author guidelines posted on the Wiley web site, so I apologize for the confusion. Please use the reference style found in the published article.

So the updated version of the style should be fine!
