====== Journal Abbreviations ======

Many citation styles require that journal titles be abbreviated (e.g., using a journal abbreviation list).

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 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//).
