more on journal abbreviations in Mendeley
Wow, my other posts on the topic are getting a lot of hits!
Some exciting info for anyone still struggling with getting abbreviated journal names working with Mendeley: this feature is coming soon!
This is currently on our roadmap for Mendeley Desktop 1.10. Expected release date is the start of August.
From the mockups and descriptions the good folks at Mendeley have provided it looks like they’re doing a great job of addressing this shortcoming of their current product.

Dr. Chubaty is an ecologist, simulation modeller, and co-developer of the
open source SpaDES simulation platform. He completed his PhD at Simon
Fraser University modelling host selection in mountain pine beetle (MPB),
and postdoctoral research at Université Laval and Natural Resources Canada
developing forecasting models of MPB spread.
He currently operates FOR-CAST Research & Analytics in Calgary, Canada, which supports the development and integration of models simulating forest vegetation dynamics, wildfire, insect disturbance, and wildlife populations to inform decision making for land management and species at risk. He is an advocate for open source, open data, and reproducible workflows.
