| Explanation of Journal Abbreviation Databases |
National Library of Medicine
-
This PubMed database is searchable by the full journal title,
by ISSN, or MEDLINE abbreviation. This is the electronic equivalent of the
List of Journals Indexed in the Index Medicus (Q.016.61 L696) which
is kept in the reference section of the Veterinary Medicine Library. Since
MEDLINE is the primary periodicals database for the biomedical fields, this
is probably the first place to check for clinical and research veterinary
journals.
- Covers and updates the list of journals indexed in Index Medicus available
in the Veterinary Medicine Library's reference section.
National Agriculture Library AGRICOLA
- Full journal information is provided, including the abbreviations used
in the AGRICOLA database (most current is for 1999).
The AGRICOLA journal list can be viewed online or downloaded in Word Perfect
format. This list is not accessible from AGRICOLA itself. The latest printed
version available at the Vet-Med Library dates from 1990. N.B.
CAB International does not provide a journal abbreviations list. If you are
dealing with a CAB citation, try searching the NAL index for agricultural
or the NLM for clinical titles.
ISI Journal Abbreviations Index
- This is simply a list of ISI abbreviations (used in the Web of Science,
Journal Citation Reports, and other ISI products) arranged alphabetically.
The table includes the full journal title and ISSN.
BioABACUS
- This is a searchable database of abbreviations and acronyms in Biotechnology
that contains terms in such categories as: Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Computers
and Internet, Diseases, Grants, Journals, Laboratories, Medicine, Molecular
Biology/Genetics, Neuroscience, Other Organizations, Professional Societies
and US Government. The data provided include the name of the term, its meaning,
the category in which it is mostly used and, when available, a link in which
additional information for the term can be found.
