The problem with vancouver style in Zotero is the journals are not abreviated correctly

Can you give an example? In general they are.

Luoma JB, Chwyl C, Bathje GJ, Davis AK, Lancelotta R. A Meta-Analysis of Placebo-Controlled Trials of Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy. Journal of Psychoactive Drugs. 2020 Aug 7;52(4):289–99.

Also, it randomly capitalized a couple of my citations:
Osmond H. A REVIEW OF THE CLINICAL EFFECTS OF PSYCHOTOMIMETIC AGENTS. Ann N Y Acad Sci. 1957 Mar;66(3):418–34.

Do you have the wrongly capitalized article titles stored in the item data in sentence case as they should be ?

For the abbreviation: They are only automatically generated if you use the word processor add-on. Otherwise Zotero uses whatever is in the journal abbr. field

Interesting. I was using doi to generate all the information and it store the name as all capitalized for some reason

DOI metadata comes from the publisher -- it varies significantly in quality.
