Journal Abbreviations does not handle protecting curly braces

[jmmelko]

Hi,
JabRef 5.2--2020-12-24--6a2a512
Windows 10 10.0 amd64
Java 14.0.2

When importing a bibTex citation from a publisher, uppercase abbreviations of editors names is often protected with curly braces, like that:
{IEEE} Journal of Quantum Electronics

If the journal abbrevations list contains the unprotected version:
IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics

Jabref does not recognize the journal name.

Suggestion: remove curly braces before searching for an abbrevation

bug still there in:
JabRef 5.2--2020-12-24--6a2a512
Windows 10 10.0 amd64
Java 14.0.2

Braces should be there to protect from changing case of acronyms, not protective whatever happens, especially not protection against abbrevations. I think.

The latest version of JabRef, including the portable version, can be found at builds/main and it should be

JabRef 5.3--2021-05-31--edb8df5
Mac OS X 10.15.7 x86_64 
Java 16.0.1 
JavaFX 16+8

I can't test that it is the same version for Windows, but it would surprise me if it were different.

Remember to take a backup off your library before trying the latest build!

still there in true latest:

JabRef 5.3--2021-05-31--edb8df5
Windows 10 10.0 amd64
Java 16.0.1
JavaFX 16+8

(btw, why is the official jabref page pointing to fosshub which hosts outdated builds instead of builds.jabref.org ?)

[tobiasdiez]

On fosshub you find the latest stable builds, on build.jabref.org the latest development builds.

Is this issue still open? I am new to the project and would like to contribute. What are some classes one should look into?
