Incorrect journal abbreviations

Operating system

GNU / Linux

Details on version and operating system

No response

Checked with the latest development build (copy version output from About dialog)

• I made a backup of my libraries before testing the latest development version.
• I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

The journal Frontiers in Physics gets abbreviated by AIP Conf. Proc.

Looking at the internal abbreviations database, it appears that the database is corrupt: there are hundreds of entries with completely different names that are abbreviated with AIP Conf. Proc.

The issue also affects at least JabRef 5.13 and 5.15.

In the latest development version, it's fine

You can try the version here https://builds.jabref.org/main/
We highly recommend to create a backup of your bib files before

Nope, as I wrote above, the bug occurs in the development version, and it hasn't been fixed in the last 24 hours.
