Style Error: Supportive Care in Cancer

tenbsmith
When creating an in-document bibliography, the Zotero style for "Supportive Care in Cancer" appears to abbreviate the Publication field, rather than using the Journal Abbr field.

For example, the journal is incorrectly abbreviated as "Support Care Cancer Off J Multinatl Assoc Support Care Cancer."
Instead of "Support Care Cancer".

I'm new to Zotero, not sure i'm up to editing the csl style. Help would be appreciated.

Here's link to the style guide: https://www.springer.com/journal/520/submission-guidelines?gclid=CjwKCAjwrvv3BRAJEiwAhwOdM0M5vFleDU4eJJwZU8fJVBNtrfAdhaz7NuXm2wEvarNMtZMRYuGXWxoCC80QAvD_BwE#Instructions for Authors_References

    The funny thing is when i make a bibliography from inside Zotero, the jounal names are done properly. Its only when I've added citations to my MS Word document and and then made a reference list in that Word document using the Zotero toolbar and button that the names come out wrong.

    I'd recommend editing the publication field, but if you just want the style to use the Journal Abbr. field instead of automatically abbreviating, uncheck "Automatically abbreviate journal titles" in the Zotero Document Preferences in your word processor.

    Thank you for the help!

    i couldn't find a checkbox for "Automatically abbreviate journal titles" under 'Document Preferences' on the Zotero toolbar for MS Word.

    Not a problem though, since the style now behaves correctly. Not sure why that is. maybe something to do with it being a new installation and rebooting...

    That box appears for styles that use journal abbreviations, but not for styles that don’t.

    Good to know. Thanks!

    I have the same issue with JCO. It is incredibly annoying to have to delete those words by hand everytime you are finalizing the bibliography. Previously I went into the journal field and deleted those words from the journal, but now those words aren't even there so I am not sure what they are pulling the "Off. J..." information from:
    Estimating the Risks of Breast Cancer Radiotherapy: Evidence From Modern Radiation Doses to the Lungs and Heart and From Previous Randomized Trials. J. Clin. Oncol. Off. J. Am. Soc. Clin. Oncol. 2017;35:1641–1649.

    If that is showing up, it means that the item data has the “Official journal of” language in it—there’s no other way for it to appear. You may have a duplicate item in your library that you’ve cited, you may have cited a copy of the item in a different group library, or the item might be disconnected from your library. You can see by opening the Add/Edit Citation window for the citation in your document, clicking the blue bubble for the item, and clicking the Show in My Library button. If there is no button, the item is disconnected from your library; in that case, delete the citation and reinsert it from your library.

    Thanks! I cut and pasted the citation inserted into text from an old document so I guess somehow it saved that. I re-inserted it from scratch and now it's fine.
