- Some while back the program "jlook" appeared in comp.sources.unix. It
- included a database of journal names and standard abbreviations (which
- another poster asked about). The program allows for lookup of journal
- names using "reasonable" abbreviations, and will act as a filter for
- conversion of journal names to a particular abbreviation style (designed
- primarily for refer but useful in other contexts).
-
- The abbreviations supported are:
- Chemical Abstracts
- Index Medicus
- World List
- all with or without punctuation.
-
- The database currently contains over 2000 entries, with coverage best in the
- biomedical area.
-
- If I get expressions of interest I will make the current sources and database
- available by ftp.
