Incorrect Journal Title: Addiction
Sorry another journal that is being incorrectly referenced from pubmed is 'Addiction' which is always in the reference list as 'Addiction (Abingdon, England)'. The place is for some reason being imported to the Publication field but it is a journal and should not have a place name! Thanks
I don't see any alternative to just blanket removing the parentheses on import, though, even though I'm sure there are edge-cases where it'd be desirable to keep it.
Also, they are appearing only because the OP is using PubMed (which I use almost exclusively as well). If he were to save the same bibliographic information from the journal's website to Zotero, he would get the simpler names.
@enozkan The reason you rarely see citations with journal abbreviations that include cities in parens is because of the rarity of the journals that require parenthetical information. This is a different issue from journal subtitles that include organization names.
Your point about original registered name is well taken.
Please also see @adamsmith and my comments about the ethical necessity of getting a useful journal name in your citations.
