Upgrade StorageZotero citations: journal titles not properly abbreviated
Hi,
I was asked by @adamsmith to start a new thread about this topic, so here I am.
The problem that I am currently experiencing is this: when I am creating a bibliography in a manuscript, if I use the option "Automatically abbreviate journal titles" not all the journal titles are abbreviated. For example, "Clinical and Translational Imaging" or "Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews" are not abbreviated at all.
In my understanding, zotero is using some kind of internal database (sqlite?) for storing the journal names and the corresponding abbreviations; I would like to know if there is any chance that a "normal" user like me can access and update this database or if we can just overwrite it, using a personal one (such as a json file).
Thank you!

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Because my citations e.g. for Clinical and Translational Imaging title with The Journal of Organic Chemstry look like this:
(1) Jadvar, H. Clin. Transl. Imaging 2017, 5 (3), 199–208.
(plus bold & italics), which looks exactly right to me.
you are right! First of all, yes I was 100%positive (even because that is the only way I know to insert citation in word). However, after you had told me it was fine with you I have been playing around a little bit and I found out that there is a problem with the @fbennett add-on. Indeed, when the addon is enabled, no matter if I tick "automatically abbreviate option" or not, it is always overwriting/bypassing zotero preferences. I had to disabled it, reboot zotero, and now with the option activated I can see the correct abbreviations. I guess this addon is a little buggy for the zotero standalone version.
Thank you for your help!
