What it does

Written by AI from the README

Replaces journal titles with standard abbreviations from a right-click menu entry. The bundled list is built from JabRef and the Woodward Library list.

Reference lists often require abbreviated journal names, and typing them is slow. This fork of zoushucai/zotero-journalabbr is for Zotero 6 only and, its developer says, for personal use.
