Fix journalAbbr suffix in elsevier

[northword]

Elsevier's journals no longer have the suffix . after the publicationTitle in the reference list.

My reviewer's comment:

example:

1. Applied Catalyst B: Enviroment (elsevier): https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0926337323012493

   

2. Journal of Catalysis (elsevier):
   https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0021951723004992

Thanks! Could you make the same change to elsevier-with-titles-alphabetical.csl and elsevier-without-titles.csl?

[adam3smith]

Hmm -- but note in the actual instructions for authors for Applied Catalysis B

Do we know what Elsevier actually wants and if they care?

[northword]

I think we should refer to the PDF of the latest issue of the journal, Elsevier's author's guide is basically a template, so many journals' author's guides are not consistent with what their PDFs provide, e.g., Applied Catalysis A, General, whose author's guide requires that the reference list not include the title of the paper, yet the PDF of the latest issue does include the Title.

Perhaps this PR requires the CSL team or community to reach a consensus on whether to use the author's guide or the latest PDF.

In addition, Elsevier's final manuscript PDFs are generated directly by its online proofing system, rather than editors manually maintaining a so-called author's guide, with a relatively high degree of reliability, and the DOI (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2018.e00205) for the examples given in the ACB's author's guide do not even exist.

Could you make the same change to elsevier-with-titles-alphabetical.csl and elsevier-without-titles.csl?

elsevier-without-titles.csl is already correct and does not need to be changed; fix to elsevier-with-titles-alphabetical.csl have been pushed to this PR.

@adam3smith From some casual checking of different issues of these and a handful of other journals, it seems pretty consistent that journals using Elsevier's house style don't using a period delimiter here in the PDFs

[adam3smith]

Cool, that's good enough for me

[bwiernik]

Thanks!
