Upgrade StorageSingle-letter journal identifiers gobbled by automatic abbreviations
I'm citing an article in Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment using the Springer - Basic (author-date) style. This style uses abbreviations, and since my Zotero database mostly doesn't have journal abbreviations, I turned on "Use MEDLINE journal abbreviations" in the document properties box in Word. The document ends up cited like:
Salon D, Boarnet MG, Handy S, et al (2012) How do local actions affect VMT? A critical review of the empirical evidence. Transp Res Part Transp Environ 17:495–508. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.2012.05.006
(note that the D is missing)
Interestingly, an article in Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behavior does not have the same problem:
Verma M, Manoj M, Verma A (2016) Analysis of the influences of attitudinal factors on car ownership decisions among urban young adults in a developing country like India. Transp Res Part F Traffic Psychol Behav 42:90–103. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trf.2016.06.024
Zotero seems to not abbreviate away single letters at the ends of journal titles, long-term it would be helpful if it also did not abbreviate away single letters before a colon (obviously it has to abbreviate away at least the single letter A since it's a common word).

mattwigwayIn case anyone else is running into this, as a workaround I did a bulk edit of the problematic journal titles to remove the subtitle (e.g. Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment => Transportation Research Part D). I followed the instructions at https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/client_coding/javascript_api#batch_editing
