Bluebook Citation Form

I have a Zotero database made in the usual name with the journals' names fully typed out. When I used bluebook form to create citations for a law review article, it did not abbreviate the journal names as Bluebook form requires. I feel this is so fundamental that it's false advertising to claim that the program supports Bluebook citations. I tried updating this with a 2019 update and it made no difference.
  • @adamsmith responded to you on Twitter. To quote it here for posterity:
    The style "Bluebook Law Review" https://zotero.org/styles?q=id:bluebook-law-review abbreviates journal titles with what's in the Journal abbr. field (make sure to disable MEDLINE abbreviations when using Word).

    For full bluebook support, look at juris-m, which is based on Zotero
  • Zotero also gives a page range using Bluebook style, so I'll have to look at juris-m. Has it been tested to make sure it, unlike Zotero, does produce accurate Bluebook style? And does it allow for transferring Zotero files?

    @ddriesen It would be really helpful if you would adjust your tone and just ask your questions without the unnecessary drama.

    Jurism is much better able to handle all of the complexity and inconsistencies of legal citation than Zotero. If you are doing legal citation, I suggest you use Jurism. See here for more information https://juris-m.github.io/indigobook/
