Journal abbreviation JabRef

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

Slightly off topic:
I am using Jabref for handling references in my LyX documents. I would like to 
use Journal abbreviations, and there exists a list jabref-journals. This is, 
however, quite uncomplete, at least for my field (biology). External lists 
can be added under JabRef. Has somebody experience with it?

I am particularly interested in the following:
The references I am using are in most cases already abbreviated. But they are 
not recognized, probably, because the full titles are missing. Do I have to 
add them or can one somehow circumwent it?

Any other way to do this job without spending too much time with it?

I manage my own list for journals that I encounter during research (mostly
physics journals). I find it easy enough to navigate to the menu Options 
Manage journal abbreviations and simply add new journals as you encounter 
them.

No harm is done if no abbreviation is found for the journal, but you won't be
able to use the fullname--abbreviation toggling feature for this particular
article.
