- Abbreviations should be omitted after consonants and before 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.
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 China's countryCodeIn the abbreviated journal name, chinachinese cannot be abbreviated as CN, But Chin. compression is used to avoid confusion with other commonly used 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.
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.

- 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.

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.
