Journal title abbreviations
In the examples in this guide the journal titles used have been given in full, however in many sources and databases the journal title is given in an abbreviated form, and it can be difficult to know what it means.
Fortunately journal title abbreviations are standardised. There are a number of useful sources you can use to check the standard abbreviation:
- ISI Journal Title Abbreviation list - includes many journal titles
- All that JAS: Journal Abbreviation Sources - gathers together a variety of web sites that list abbreviated journal titles
- Periodical abbreviations - comprehensive book listing journal titles and abbreviations, available in Stirling Campus Library only
- Guide to legal abbreviations - guidance for law students at the University of Stirling
