How to avoid points or add points for a review journal

p.goglio
To whom it may concern,
I am coding for Agronomy for sustainable development and I would like to know the following aspect.
Some reviews need to cite a journal in the following way:
Agr Syst
others:
Agr. Syst.
I am looking forward to receiving a reply from you, thanks a lot for the precious help and collaboration.

    You can remove periods from a journal abbreviation using
    <text variable="container-title" form="short" strip-periods="true"/>
    If that doesn't answer your question, you'll have to be more specific. While I'll keep replying in English, feel free to write in Italian if that's easier for you.

    I tried with strip period but it does not work. I will rephrase the question. I have an article on a review called Agricolture Ecosystem and Environment. The short title of the review should be Agr Ecosyst Env. I have some journals like Journal of Cleaner production which would like to cite the previous journal title in the following way:
    Agr. Ecosyst. Env.
    Others like Agronomy for a sustainable development:
    Agr Ecosyst Env
    without any punctuation among the abbreviated journal title words.
    I would like to make zotero to add the full stops when they are needed. The alternative, it would be to add full stops for each citation in the paper or either having two versions (1 with "Agr. Ecosyst. Env.", 2 with "Agr Ecosyst Env")
    I hope it is a little bit clearer now.




    Thanks a lot for the collaboration

    Agr. Ecosyst. Env. should be in the Journal Abbrev. field for the item.
    You can then get
    Agr. Ecosyst. Env. by using
    <text variable="container-title" form="short"/>
    and
    Agr Ecosyst Env
    by using
    <text variable="container-title" form="short" strip-periods="true"/>

    In other words, Zotero can only remove, not add periods, which is why you should always keep the abbreviation _with_ periods in Zotero.

    It is actually working... I would like to thank for the help and collaboration.
