Style Error: [PAIN]

I've noticed a discrepancy between the Zotero style for PAIN and the current guidelines for PAIN from their website (http://edmgr.ovid.com/pain/accounts/ifauth.htm). No periods should appear after abbreviations (i.e., Eur. J. Pain vs Eur J Pain). An excerpt from the guidelines can be found directly below.

References. Cite literature references in the text using bracketed numbers that correspond to the alphabetized and numbered reference list as follows: "Pain is made worse if you hit the already injured site [15]." For multiple references in the text, please use the format [number,number] (with a comma and no spaces). For example: [2,4,28,33].
- All references cited in the text must be listed at the end of the paper. They should be numbered, double spaced, and arranged alphabetically by first author last name.
- All authors must be listed in the references; the use of et al. is not acceptable.
- References must be complete, including initial(s) of author(s) cited, title of paper, journal, year of publication, and volume and page numbers.
- For citations of books, the following uniform sequence should be maintained: author(s), title of article, editor(s), complete title of book, place of publication, publisher, year, and page numbers.
- Journal titles should be abbreviated according to the National Library of Medicine’s Index Medicus. Please refer to the NLM website’s FAQ on how to find Index Medicus journals: www.nlm.nih.gov/services/aim.html.
- Unpublished data, personal communications, abstracts that cannot be retrieved by casual readers (e.g., meeting abstracts that require logging into a members-only site), and other inaccessible materials should not be listed as references. Unpublished materials may be cited in parentheses within the text.
- For manuscripts containing citations that are in press, authors must have electronic copies immediately available in case reviewers/editors request these materials.
- URLs should be included for all references that are publicly accessible via the Internet. Examples:

  • Updated style now on the repository or you can update within Z.
    Found some other smaller mistakes that I also fixed.
