I'm wondering if anybody has a preference on how we deal with journal title abbreviations.
Many journals/institutes have a full primary title, but are commonly referred to by their abbreviation. An example is the American Institute of Physics, or AIP. But there are a few cases where the abbreviation is the primary title. E.g. JAAPA, or the Journal of the American Academy of Physician Assistants. CSL offers the cs:title element, and since CSL 1.0.1, also cs:title-short (http://citationstyles.org/downloads/release-notes-csl101.html#short-title). Currently I almost only use cs:title, starting with the primary title, followed by the (un)abbreviated version in parentheses, e.g.: <title>American Institute of Physics (AIP)</title> and <title>JAAPA (Journal of the American Academy of Physician Assistants)</title> This is handy because http://www.zotero.org/styles only shows and searches the contents of the cs:title field, but obviously we're clumping two metadata fields together. Somewhat cleaner would be: <title>American Institute of Physics</title> <title-short>AIP</title-short> and <title>JAAPA (Journal of the American Academy of Physician Assistants)</title> <title-short>JAAPA</title-short> but this would require some changes to the Zotero Style Repository to keep styles findable. Does anybody have an opinion on the desired path forward?
