Reference issues through Mendeley
I actually use Mendeley as my reference manager but have been informed that Zotero manage the citations?
I have a paper where all the author details are inputted in the format of 'Smith, J.H' but when I reference in my document the details come out as 'J. . Smith'. How do I rectify this please?

Maybe they are mixing up CSL, the citation style language project with Zotero. The two work closely together, but it's not the same. Zotero is a software like Mendeley, while CSL is a database of citation styles (and more) that is used by dozens of softwares.
If you want a different reference format you'll need to choose a different citation style which you can do within Mendeley. You'll need to look up in their documentation how to do that.
If your work is for a specific journal (which is it?) search for that journals name.
