Abbreviations are governed by the ISO 4 standard and maintained by the ISSN International Centre. The annually updated List of Title Word Abbreviations contains the words of the titles of serials processed by the ISSN network and their abbreviations, approximately 55,650 words in about 70 languages. Visit the list at http://www.issn.org/2-22661-LTWA-online.php.
Other general resources are the Periodical Title Abbreviations reference books, which unfortunately have no online version. These are held at the D. H. Hill Jr.. Library reference desk and branch locations.

Many citation styles require that journal titles be abbreviated (e.g., using a journal abbreviation list).
A planned feature for Zotero is support for choosing among several abbreviation lists, so that different styles can use different journal abbreviations (e.g., Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences can be abbreviated as either Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. or PNAS).

Highlight Journals, then click Import List .

Standard Journal Abbreviation (ISO4) – Chemistry – A European Journal
The Standard Abbreviation (ISO4) of Chemistry – A European Journal is “Chem. Eur. J.”. ISO 4 (Information and documentation – Rules for the abbreviation of title words and titles of publications) is an international standard, defining a uniform system for the abbreviation of serial publication titles. One major use of ISO 4 is to abbreviate the names of scientific journals. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has appointed the ISSN International Centre as the registration authority for ISO 4. It maintains the List of Title Word Abbreviations (LTWA) containing standard abbreviations for words commonly found in serial titles. LTWA includes more than 56,000 words and their abbreviations in 65 languages. In conclusion, under ISO 4 standards, the Chemistry – A European Journal should be cited as Chem. Eur. J. for abstracting, indexing and referencing purposes.

The database mainly covers law reports and law periodicals but some other legal publications are also included. The Index is under continuous development with new abbreviations and titles being added on a regular basis.
A wide selection of major foreign language law publications is also included. Publications from over 295 jurisdictions are featured in the Index.
