Abbreviations for Journals? #34

Open psavery opened 7 years ago

psavery commented 7 years ago

I love this tool! It is great.

One nice feature, I think, would be to add the ability on the website for it to automatically abbreviate journals for you. It might take a little effort, but you could create a file database of journal abbreviations from something like this: http://guides.lib.berkeley.edu/bioscience-journal-abbreviations

This way, we don't have to change the journal name to its proper abbreviation every time we use the program.

But thanks so much for the tool!

No database. The abbreviated journal name can fully be created from this abbreviation list: https://www.issn.org/services/online-services/access-to-the-ltwa/

Only uncertainty is, which language to apply, for journal names other than English.
