AMA Journal Abbreviations

I've noticed that once I generate a bibliography that some articles are correctly cited using the journal abbreviation. (e.g. The Journal of American Medical Association = JAMA)
However, other journals are not abbreviated or have the inconsistent abbreviation.
(E.g. 2 different articles from the same journal appear as- Sleep Med. or Sleep.)
What can I do to fix this? Or do I have to just go through and change them manually. Thanks for your help.
  • currently Zotero will use whatever is in the Journal Abbr. field for the item in question. Short to medium run we'll have a better solution using abbreviation lists in place, but right now that still takes a fair amount of tweaking, so unless you feel experimental I'd not recommend doing that. (But see here: http://citationstylist.org/abbreviations-for-zotero/ if you're interested - if you search the forum a bit there may even already an index medicus abbreviation list around)
