Journal abbreviations are already available. I would suggest to expand their applicability to the booktitle field as well, since @inproceedings references are often used for conconference/workshop proceedings in particular, and typing each out in full separately is neither fun nor good for accuracy.
Thanks,
Lars
I totally agree, I wonder why this feature is not already in jabref.
One simple fixe would be to choose the fields to which the abbreviation list should apply (instead of having one list per field)
