Add quality checkers

[koppor]

Task:

1. Create infrastructure in JabRef for checking a list (one PR)
2. Then add checkers one by one in new PRs

If this is not done in small steps, the PRs cannot be reviewed and will be closed. Example: JabRef/jabref#13190

You can still orient yourself on the old PRs, maybe, there are some ideas.

Do NOT implement in Python (#170), include in JabRef

I needed to fix lists, because "wrong" lists were in. See #148

We should have a checker. Following are the tasks it should check following issues

---

ERROR: Wrong escape

"Zeszyty Naukowe Wy\","Problemy Mat."
"Journal of Evolutionary Biochemistry and Physiology\","J. Evol. Biochem. Physiol."

ERROR: Wrong beginning letters

"Zeszyty Naukowe Wy\","Problemy Mat."

(This is #107)

ERROR: List contains non-UTF8 characters

This is #125.

WARN: Double entries

"Advances in Applied Mathematics","Adv. Appl. Math."
"Advances in Applied Mathematics","Adv. in Appl. Math."

(This refs #77)

WARN: Same full form appearing twice

"Advances in Applied Mathematics","Adv. Appl. Math."
"Advances in Applied Mathematics","Adv. in Appl. Math."

(This refs #77)

WARN: Same abbrevation appearing twice

"Advances in Data Analysis and Classification. ADAC","Adv. Data Anal. Classif."
"Advances in Data Analysis and Classification. ADAC. Theory, Methods, and Applications in Data Science","Adv. Data Anal. Classif."

(This refs #77)

WARN: abbreviation is the same as the full text

"Quantum","Quantum"

WARN: Management is abbreviated with outdated "Manage." instead of "Manag.

This is #78

Important

When working on this, one check after another needs to be done. With test cases. Otherwise, it cannot be reviewed and checked for correctness.

WARN: abbreviation is the same as the full text

When journal name is only one word，its abbreviation is the same as the full name.
e.g. full name: Fuel , its abbrev is Fuel.

Hi, I would like to tackle this issue with my group : )

@northword I think, the expected result is a Python tool residing in https://github.com/JabRef/abbrv.jabref.org/tree/main/scripts. It should print out issues and exit with failure code if issues are found. -- You can chose another programming language of you want.

Example output of lychee, which has another purpose, but also outputs check results:

Hey, when implementing the check logic for 'WARN: abbreviation is the same as the full text,' should we only give a warning if the journal's name has more than one word and the abbreviation is the same as its full name? If the journal name is just one word, as @northword mentioned, should we simply pass it?

Yes.

My current function that checks the validity of starting letters of abbreviations considers the below entries as invalid, because the starting letters of the abbreviations do not match well with the full names.

Full: 'Polish Academy of Sciences', Abbrev: 'Acta Phys. Polon. A'
Full: 'Jagellonian University', Abbrev: 'Acta Phys. Polon. B'
Full: 'Universităţii din Timișoara', Abbrev: 'An. Univ. Timișoara Ser. Mat.-Inform.'
Full: 'Universităţii "Ovidius" Constanţa', Abbrev: 'An. Ştiinţ. Univ. Ovidius Constanţa Ser. Mat.'

However, these abbreviations seem to be legitimate for the corresponding full names, though not being obvious. Could you provide some idea how I should refine the criteria of invalidity?
