The specific "instructions to authors" prescribe the exact format style of Journal Titles (Full titles or Abbreviated style). Endnote makes it possible to adjust Journal Titles to any required style automatically by providing a so-called Journal Term List. For example, JAMA specifies that authors should "abbreviate names of journals according to Index Medicus", while still other journals such as The British Journal of Psychiatry require "full titles". The Index Medicus abbreviations are the abbreviations used in the Medline database. These abbreviations are assigned by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM). Several other systems of journal abbreviations are in use: always check the "instructions to authors" of the journal to which you are submitting your paper to find the style of abbreviation required. It is with great appreciation to our colleague-cybrarians from The University of Queensland that we can provide you two well designed and updated lists:
NOTE If you are a new EndNote user or haven't dealt with the Journal Titles phenomenon you must read the FAQ information from Queensland and / or read Chapter 9 of the EndNote manual before ( downloading and) update the file in the Journal Term List of your Endnote Library. The Medical journals term list supplied lists 8,908 journals which began publication before about 1996. Queensland produced an updated term list which incorporates all those titles, plus a further 490 titles which began publication between 1996 and 2002.
