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.
