You could better also compare the bibtex string, because the value can return
the expanded value of a macro. Note that in that case the string value is
enclosed in braces. And don't return 0 as default index, because than you will
use the first item as default, which is not what you want. Perhaps better to
have a list of lists for your input like {{"J Mol Biol", "jmb"},{"J Biol Chem",
"jbc"}} then
on getMacroForBibTeXName(theList, theName)
repeat with anItem in theList
if ("{" & item 1 of theItem & "}") is theName then return item
2 of theItem
end repeat
return missing value
end getMacroForName
After that you can use something like this:
set theMacro to getMacroForBibTeXName(theJournals, its BibTeX string)
if theMacro is not missing value then set its BibTeX string to theMacro
