1. Journal abbreviations have to be indicated in the citation style. If the citation style isn't set up for abbreviations, there is no option to use them (other than modifying the style which is reasonably easy for this).
2. For styles that do use abbreviations, the behavior is different when using the Word add-on and when copying from Zotero. When copying from Zotero, journal abbreviations use whatever is in the Journal Abbr. field and if that's empty use the full journal name.
3.Only when using the Word processor add-on to cite & add the bibliography does Zotero use an automated list/algorithm (you can switch to the Journal Abbr. field in the Document Preferences when using the Word add-on).
In Jurism, the abbrevs are applied in all contexts (word processor, style editor, exported bibliographies), so it's certainly possible to unify the behavior.
So, I think it would be nice if there were a function to fill the "Journal Abbr" field for each entry (perhaps in the right-click context menu).
