Omitting shortjournal field if there is no abbreviation in the Journal glossary
Posted: Fri Apr 08, 2022 7:54 pm
Sorry for all the questions at the moment!
If I have a journal article from the Journal named Iraq, there's no abbreviated form of the journal name. In my BibTeX export, I have added:
to the exporter, which works very nicely when there is an abbreviation in the glossary. But for the Iraq journal, which does not appear in the glossary, the field is populated with full journal name. That makes sense as a fallback.
The problem for me is it also adds an entry to the BibTeX abbreviations list, and hence shows up in the abbreviations table I put at the start of my book.
Is there any way of having some conditional logic in the BibTeX export to only show the shortjournal field if there is a matching item in the journal glossary?
