Hi list! I have a technical question about formatting citation output which some of you may have dealt with in the past. I see journal names and their abbreviations listed three different ways: ALL CAPS no periods: http://images.webofknowledge.com/WOK46/help/WOS/A_abrvjt.html Proper Case, with periods: http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/BIOS/j_abbr.html Proper Case, no periods: http://home.ncifcrf.gov/research/bja/journams_a.html As far as I'm aware, citations in published papers should always be proper case, but are there any cases where a journal should be cited without periods in the abbreviated form? I'm aware of the edge cases like PLOS, JAMA, BMJ, but what I'm wondering is if anyone knows of any instances where a journal which is normally abbreviated as Anal. Biochem. would instead be formatted as Anal Biochem (without periods) in the references list/bibliography for a paper? If anyone has dealt with this issue in the past, I'd love to hear what you came up with. Thanks!
