journalAbbreviation contains full journal name with Silverchair translator

fran_alba
I imported this paper in Zotero https://avs.scitation.org/doi/10.1116/5.0084821
and found that the Journal Abbr field contains the full title of the journal.

The translator used by default is Silverchair: https://github.com/zotero/translators/blob/master/Silverchair.js
Even from some of the examples in this file it looks like the journal is incorrectly abbreviated, see e.g. line 630: "journalAbbreviation": "Journal of Vision", when it should be J. Vis ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journal_of_Vision ).

I don't where the translator is taking the metadata from, but if the abbreviation is incorrect it would be better to just leave the field empty.

    The Journal of Vision is missing an abbreviation because the journal writes the full journal title into the abbreviation field in the metadata, so that's working 'as expected' and I don't think we can do much about that on import.
    JO - Journal of Vision
    JA - Journal of Vision

    However, that's not the case for your example, where the metadata (RIS) looks right and Zotero still handles this incorrectly. We'll look into that:

    AB - We introduce a quantum interferometric scheme that uses states that are sharp in frequency and delocalized in position. The states are frequency modes of a quantum field that is trapped at all times in a finite volume potential, such as a small box potential. This allows for significant miniaturization of interferometric devices. Since the modes are in contact at all times, it is possible to estimate physical parameters of global multimode channels. As an example, we introduce a three-mode scheme and calculate precision bounds in the estimation of parameters of two-mode Gaussian channels. This scheme can be implemented in several systems, including superconducting circuits, cavity-QED, and cold atoms. We consider a concrete implementation using the ground state and two phononic modes of a trapped Bose–Einstein condensate. We apply this to show that frequency interferometry can improve the sensitivity of phononic gravitational waves detectors by several orders of magnitude, even in the case that squeezing is much smaller than assumed previously, and that the system suffers from short phononic lifetimes. Other applications range from magnetometry, gravimetry, and gradiometry to dark matter/energy searches.

    Well, so the problem is that JO is principally used for journal abbreviations, too -- they should be using T2 here, ideally.
    We should be able to work around this for Silverchair specifically.

    Thanks a lot for looking into this so quickly!
