Journal abbreviations are not correct according to ISO 4

Help
1

I am using JabRef 5.2 on win 10 and noticed that some Journal abbreviations are not correct according to ISO 4. For example:

  1. Nature Nanotechnology: Nat. Nanotechnology (JabRef-DEFAULT)/ Nat. Nanotechnonl. (ISO 4)
  2. Nature Communications: Nat Commun (JabRef-DEFAULT)/ Nat. Commun. (ISO 4).

Hi,

thanks for your report. All Journal abbreviations are listed here. You might want to check and correct it there to ensure it’s correct in the next JabRef version

@Christoph, thank you for the kind response! is it possible to edit them from JabRef app using options–>Manage journal abbreviations? I tried but looks not editable.

@Christoph, I checked this file " journal_abbreviations_acs.csv" it looks Ok. But this file " journal_abbreviations_geology_physics.csv" has the wrong abbreviations

@Hasan_Al_Shehab Thanks. You can either create an issue there or directly modify and correct the file.

In JabRef you can also add your own journal list:

@Siedlerchr, I am familiar with that but if I add a journal to my list and it is already in JabRef library JabRef will read it from its library, not from my list. How can I make JabRef read from my list and ignores its library, please?

By the way, it would be much more easier for everyone if we can modify this abbreviations through >Manage journal abbreviations, is that possible please?

Hi,

Please try the latest development version, index - powered by h5ai v0.29.0 (https://larsjung.de/h5ai/)
there have been some fixes to the journal handling.

Remember to make a backup of your library before trying out the new version.

Thanks a lot @Siedlerchr
