Abbreviation rules of English titles of references

This paper refers to the international standard ISO4- 1984 "International Rules for Bibliography-Abbreviation of Periodical Names" and the national standard GB77 14-87 "Appendix C of the Rules for Bibliography after Articles".

The single word 1 cannot be abbreviated.

Some titles consist of a real word, such as adsorption, atmospheric biology, radiochemistry, biomaterials, nature, science and so on. , cannot be abbreviated.

Monosyllabic words in periodical titles are generally not abbreviated.

There are many monosyllabic words in English periodicals, such as FOOD, CHEST and CHILD, which cannot be abbreviated. For example, the medical journal hear and lung, abbreviated as Heart Lung, only omits the conjunction and. However, several words that constitute place names, such as NEW and SOUTH, can be abbreviated to corresponding initials. For example, the New England Journal of Medicine can be abbreviated as N Engl J Med instead of slightly New England J Med, and the South African Journal of Surgery can be abbreviated as S Afr J Surg, but not South Afr J Surg. In addition, words with less than 5 letters (including 5 letters) are generally not abbreviated, such as Acta, Heart, Bone, Joint, etc.

The function words in the magazine headlines have been omitted.

There are many function words in the titles of foreign academic journals, such as the, of, for, and, on, from, to and so on. , abbreviations are omitted. For example, Journal of Chemistry is abbreviated as JCHEM, and Archives of Medical Research is abbreviated as Arch Med Res.

Abbreviations should be omitted after consonants and before vowels.

English word abbreviations usually end in consonants, not vowels. For example, American is abbreviated as Am instead of Ame or Amer, Medicine or Medical is abbreviated as Med, MED and Eur is abbreviated as Eur. Except Sci, the abbreviation is Sci, probably because the vowel I is followed by the vowel E. The abbreviated publication name must be capitalized at the beginning of each word, not all capitalized or lowercase.

5 compressed alphabet method

Only a few words are abbreviated with compressed letters, such as Jpn instead of Jan, Jan and National should be abbreviated as Natl instead of Nat. In the description of references, it is a common mistake for readers to write Japanese as Jan. For example, the Japanese journal of ophthalmology should be abbreviated as JPN J Ophthalmol, and the research report of the National Cancer Institute of the United States should be abbreviated as Natl Cancer Inst Res Rep, and Nat is the abbreviation of Nature and Natural. For example, Natural Medicine and Natural Biotechnology are abbreviated as Nat Med and Nat Biotechnol respectively. In addition, CN is the country code of China. In the abbreviated titles of periodicals, ChinaChinese should be abbreviated as Chin instead of CN. In order to avoid confusion with other commonly used abbreviations, compressed writing is adopted. For example, Japanese can't be abbreviated as Jan, maybe Jan is a fixed abbreviation of January, National is abbreviated as Natl instead of Nat, and maybe Nat is an abbreviation of Nature and Natural.

Abbreviation of subject name

Abbreviations of subject names are very common in journal titles, so it is necessary to understand the laws of abbreviations of subject names. All words ending in -ogy should be deleted from the suffix -ogy. For example, the abbreviation of cardiology is Cariol, and the abbreviation of biology is Biol, and the subject noun ending in -ics is omitted. For example, Physics is abbreviated as Phys, and words ending in -try are abbreviated together with the previous letters by omitting -try. For example, the chemical abbreviation is chem, which also includes abbreviations of other adjectives.

Abbreviations of common words and special words in periodical titles

Some commonly used words in Journal names can be abbreviated as one letter, such as J for Journal, Q for Quarterly, R for Royal, N for New, S for South, etc.

8 Initial combination of periodical titles

Some magazine abbreviations use initials and have been fixed. Generally, they are journals with international influence and are recognized by many international index retrieval tools. For example, Journal of American Medical Association is abbreviated as JAMA, and British Medical Journal is abbreviated as BMJ.

9 abbreviation of country name

There are two abbreviations of country names in periodical titles. If the name of a country is a word, abbreviations often omit suffixes or some letters after the word. For example, American abbreviation is Am, British abbreviation is br, Br, and Chinese abbreviation is Chin. When the name of a country consists of multiple phrases, the first letter of each word is usually taken, such as the United States of America, which is abbreviated as USA or US.

The above are just some general rules for abbreviations of English titles. As for book title abbreviations, many retrieval tools have abbreviated journals. Please compare
