 ====== Journal Abbreviations ======
-Many citation styles require that journal titles are abbreviated (e.g. using a journal abbreviation list, like the one of [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=journals&Cmd=DetailsSearch&Term=currentlyindexed[All]|Index Medicus]]).
+Many citation styles require that journal titles be abbreviated (e.g., using a journal abbreviation list).
-Most styles use the same journal abbreviations, but some styles include periods (e.g. //J. Cell. Biol.//), whereas others omit them (//J Cell Biol//). CSL 1.0 styles (supported by Zotero 2.1 or newer) can dictate that periods should either be left untouched or stripped from the abbreviation in the "Journal Abbr." field when generating citations and bibliographies. For this reason, you should store journal abbreviations with periods in your Zotero library.
+Zotero 4.0 and later can automatically abbreviate journal titles in Index Medicus/MEDLINE format. This option is available in the [[../word_processor_plugin_usage#document_preferences|Document Preferences]] window in the Zotero word processor plugin. When it is disabled, Zotero uses the abbreviation from the "Journal Abbr." field in the client.
-A planned feature for Zotero is support for abbreviation lists, so that different styles can use different journal abbreviations (e.g. //Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences// can be abbreviated as either //Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A.// or //PNAS//).
+A planned feature for Zotero is support for choosing among several abbreviation lists, so that different styles can use different journal abbreviations (e.g., //Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences// can be abbreviated as either //Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A.// or //PNAS//).
