Abbreviations and rules of reference documents

In this paper, we refer to the international standards ISO4-1984 "document work-international rules for the publication of Journals" and national standards GB7714-87 "document reference rules" Appendix C.

1 The publication name composed of a single word cannot be abbreviated

Some journals are composed of real words, such as adsorption, aerobiologia, radiochemistry, biomaterials, nature, and science.

2. monosyllabic words in the publication name are generally not abbreviated

Many monosyllabic words, such as food, chest, and child, are not abbreviated in English journals. For example, in the medical journal hear and lung, the abbreviation is heart lung, which only disconnects and. However, a few words that constitute a place name, such as new and South, can be abbreviated to the corresponding first letter. For example, New England and Journal of medcine can be abbreviated to N Engl J Med, and should not be omitted to new Engl J Med, South African Journal of surgery can be abbreviated to s afr j Surg, it cannot be abbreviated as South afr j Surg. in addition, words with less than five letters (including five letters) are not abbreviated, such as ACTA, heart, bone, and joint.

3. All the virtual words in the publication name are omitted.

Academic Journals outside China contain many acronyms, such as the, of, for, and, on, from, and. For example, Journal of chemistry is abbreviated as J chem and archives of medical research is abbreviated as arch med res.

4 The abbreviation should be omitted after the consonants and before the vowels.

The abbreviation of an English word generally ends with a consonant rather than a vowel. For example, if American is omitted as am, but not ame or Amer, Medine or medical is abbreviated as med, and European is abbreviated as EUR. Except science, which is short for SCI, may be because it is a vowel E after the vowel I. The name of an abbreviated publication must start with an uppercase letter, but not all with an uppercase or lowercase letter.

5. letter Compression

Only individual words are abbreviated as compressed letters, for example, Japanese names are abbreviated as JPN rather than Jan, and national names are abbreviated as Natl rather than Nat. Many readers often write Japanese as Jan, which is a common mistake in the reference documentation. For example, the Japanese Journal of ophthalmology is abbreviated as jpn j ophthalmol, and the National Cancer Institute research report is abbreviated as Natl cancer inst res rep. nat is the abbreviation of nature and natural, such as Nature Medicine and Nature Biotechnology. in addition, CN is the Country Code of China. In the abbreviated journal name, chinachinese cannot be abbreviated as CN, But Chin. compression is used to avoid confusion with other common abbreviations. For example, Japanese cannot be abbreviated as Jan, which may be a fixed abbreviation of January. National can be abbreviated as Natl instead of NAT, or NAT can be abbreviated as nature and natural.

6. abbreviated subject name

The subject name abbreviations are common in the publication name, so it is necessary to understand the subject name abbreviations rules. All words ending with-ogy are removed from the end of the word-ogy. For example, cardiology is abbreviated as cariol, biology is abbreviated as Biol, and it is a subject term ending with-ics, abbreviation:-ics or a few letters before it are omitted. For example, physics, abbreviated as phys, is the word ending with-try. When abbreviated,-try is omitted along with the previous letters. For example, the abbreviation of chemistry is chem, which also includes the abbreviation of other adjectives.

7. Abbreviations of common and special words in the publication name

Some common words in a journal name can be abbreviated as a letter, for example, J, Q, R, N, and S.

8 combination of titles

Some journals use the combination of acronyms and have been fixed. They are generally internationally influential journals and are recognized by many indexing search tools. For example, the Journal of American Medical Association is abbreviated as Jama, and the British Medical Journal is abbreviated as BMJ.

9. Abbreviation of country name

The abbreviated name of a country in the publication name is divided into two types. For example, the country name is called a single word, and the abbreviation often skips the end of the word or the last part of the word. For example, the American abbreviation is AM, the British abbreviation is Br, and the Chinese abbreviation is Chin. When a country name is composed of multiple phrases, the first letter of each word is often used. For example, United States of America is abbreviated as USA or us.

The above are general rules for abbreviations of English publication names. Specific to the abbreviation of an publication name, many search tools have been used to scale the publication table. Please compare.

2. Rules for abbreviations of Chinese and English names in References

References are an important part of scientific papers, as well as editing and processing. The Vancouver format requirement is that the English publication names and names are abbreviated for reference after the document is recorded. This rule is also the preferred rule for many retrieval systems when listing names.

The following is an example:

When publishing an article, since the western people have their first names, they generally use the name + Last Name format to write the following titles, authors, and texts:

Bis-pyranoside alkenes: novel templates for the synthesis of adjacently linked tetrahydrofurans

Zheming Ruan, Phyllis Wilson and David R. mootoo

If the above article is referenced by another person as a reference, it must be written

Bis-pyranoside alkenes: novel templates for the synthesis of adjacently linked tetrahydrofurans

Tetrahedron letters volume: 37, issue: 21, May 2, 1996, pp. 3619-3622

Ruan, zheming; Wilson, Phyllis; mootoo, David R.

Due to the differences between the east and west surnames, some foreign magazines also give the author's degree or participation in the study after the person's name. Therefore, many people do not know how to distinguish the surname, name, degree unit, and abbreviation.

Below we will extract several key points of the author name abbreviation rule as follows:

1. Name abbreviations are only abbreviated names, but not surnames;

2 whether in the east or west, the abbreviation name is written in the form of the first surname and the last name;

3. The author name of a magazine must be a surname in upper case;

4. Omit all abbreviations

For example, R. Brain Haynes stands for Haynes Rb and Edward J. Huth stands for Huth EJ.

But in some special cases:

(1) Maeve O 'Conner. The correct abbreviation is O 'Conner M. Some people may think that it is incorrect to print according to the English word formation habits and think that oconner m

(2) There are also surnames abroad, such as Julie C. fanbury-Smith and hartly lorberboum-galski, which are abbreviated as fanbury-Smith JC and lorbertoum-galski Hl.

(3) The name contains the prefixes de, Des, Du, La, Dal, La, Von, Van, Den, der, etc. The prefix and last name are regarded as a whole, spaces and uppercase/lowercase letters are not arranged in alphabetical order. For example, kinder von Werder is abbreviated as von W erder K and cannot be written as Werder kV.

(4) Foreign journals require the author to give his/her degree and join the society after his/her signature. The degree and name are also abbreviated. Common candidates include PhD and Sm (Master of Science) MBA (Master of management, for example, the abbreviated name of Royal Society of Chemistry is RSC. The author of a thesis is signed by Edward J. huth, MD, PhD, ICMJE indicates Edward J. huth is the author's name. MD and PhD indicate that the author is a doctor of medicine and a Doctor of Philosophy. ICMJE indicates that the author is a member of the editorial board of international medical journals. The abbreviation of the author is Huth EJ.

It is worth noting that Chinese people post an article in a foreign magazine. After the first name is signed, the first name is used in China. In this way, foreign people will think that they are not the same author, for example, lihuang Zhong, foreign people will think that after the Chinese are used to the first name, they will abbreviated it as lihuang Z, well-known International Search publications, such as Ca Ba, are often mistaken. In order to accurately determine the author's surname and name, many magazines have begun to write up the author's surname in upper case to differentiate and receive better results. In addition, the directories of foreign magazines often only provide the author's abbreviated names, which provides an important basis for us to accurately abbreviated foreign names.
