Style request: Update Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

matjazturinek
Hi,

I am just preparing a manuscript for the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. When I install and choose the existenst style in the repository, it does not match the current instructions on reference citation.

It is different in at least 2 points:
- in text citation is superscript in the existent style, whereas it should be in brackets and on-line with text in the new instructions for authors - "References should be cited in the text by an on-line italic number in parentheses, for example, (1)."

- Bibliography at the end is supposed to have the full article title (also book name and editor name(s)) stated, not just magazine/journal abbreviation -
"Typical references follow the styles given below.
For journals:

1. Brown, J.; Jones, M.; Green, D. Article title. J. Agric. Food Chem. 1980, 28, 1-4. (Use issue number only if each issue begins with page 1.)

For books:

1. Smith, L.; Caldwell, A. Chapter title. In Book Title, edition no.; Keys, F.; Park, G., Eds.; Publisher: City, State (or Country if non-U.S.), Year; Vol. no., pp."


Could you please modify the existent style and post it in the repository?
Thanks!

    OK - should be right now, at least as far as the differences you mentioned are concerned. If I remember correctly there are some issues with ACS styles that cannot currently be addressed within Zotero, but I'm not 100% which ones.
    The repository might take some time to update - check the date behind the style.

    Great, I am looking forward to get the updated style! When it's updated, I'll try it out and post the outcome ;-)

    Thank you for your fast response.

    OK, I've updated the style on my computer and it works as it should, except for one thing - the numbers/references in the text are still subscript/smaller than the rest of the text...

    is there any way to change that?

    thanks!

    I just checked it once more - it is the size of the reference in text that doesn't change - it stays at size 7.

    I tried to look through the code, but wasn't able to find the section where one could modify it.

    that's not a problem with the code - it seems like for some reason Word "remembers" some of the formatting. If you try this out in a new document you should get the citation number in regular size.

    As a solution, I'd try playing with the Word style (nothing to do with the Zotero style)

    my suspicion is that the citations are still a different style - if you change that you might be able to get rid of the size issue.
    Maybe also try switching to a completely different Zotero style and back.
