New England Journal of Medicine & Contraception

The NEJM and Contraception citation styles from the style depository appear to be incorrect - when inserting a bibliography in these styles, only the first letter of the article name should be capitalized. Currently, all words in each article name are capitalized. Is it possible to fix this? NEJM and Contraception's official citation style requirements can be found here:

    Neither style actively converts article names (titles) to title case. Are the article titles in your Zotero library in sentence case? See https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/sentence_casing

    The article titles are stored in the Zotero library in title case, but NEJM and Contraception must be in sentence case. Are the styles not able to convert from title to sentence case?

    As discussed at the link I gave above, it's quite difficult to write software that reliably converts title case to sentence case. So it's recommended to store all titles in sentence case in your Zotero library. Styles that need title case will do the conversion from sentence case, but styles that need sentence case won't attempt a conversion from title case.

    To make this easier, you can right-click the title of an item in the right-hand column in the Info tab, and use "Transform Text" to convert the title to sentence case (and make manual corrections as needed).
