Improved Journal Abbreviations
Currently, JabRef has a single list of journal abbreviations. This list is a combined list of the .csv files at https://github.com/JabRef/abbrv.jabref.org/tree/main/journals. Instead of the dropdown of JabRef should not show a single “JabRef built in list”, but should show the various lists we offer: built-in lists, external lists, custom lists. Then, one can enable and disable with a click. This eases the users to find issues in abbreviation lists and allows users to customize the lists according to their field (e.g., physics, information science, …).
Fore more context, see: https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/12364 and list of all abbreviation issues: https://github.com/jabref/jabref/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22component%3A%20journal%20abbreviations%22. Please also check existing pull requests and comments on them.
