Excerpt from List of Abbreviations Employed in Experiment Station Record for Titles of Periodicals, 1905 In general, the abbreviations used are those which have been quite commonly employed by others, although there are some departures. A simple form of abbreviation has been adopted, sufficiently full to suggest the title of the publication to one familiar with the literature. The aim has been to make the reader in a measure independent of any key, so far as the more common periodicals are concerned. There are many publications, however, which are less familiar to most readers, and hence a list giving the full title will be helpful in looking up articles in the original. The plan has been to follow the order of words as they appear in the full title, omitting unnecessary words. Brevity has been sought, but not to the extent of sacrificing clearness. The orthographical usages of the various languages have not been followed strictly. In some cases long, composite words have been split up in making the abbreviations, for the sake of brevity and clearness. So much variation exists in the capitalization of important words in the title, even among journals in the same language, that it has been thought best to adopt the plan of capitalizing the principal words in all cases, regardless of the usages of the individual journals or the countries from which they are issued. This simplifies the abbreviations, at the same time giving rather more prominence to the words, and it removes a constant source of error in proof reading. The same rule has been followed in the full title, the principal words being capitalized, as is customary with publications issued in English.

Excerpt from Abbreviations Employed in Experiment Station Record for Titles of Periodicals This list is a revision and enlargement of one published in 1905 as Office of Experiment Stations Circular 62, and covers the period 1915 - 1924. It includes abbreviations and full titles of periodicals, other than regular State agricultural experiment station publications, from which abstracts are made for Experiment Station Record, and in the interest Of consistency in making abbreviations for new periodicals there is added a list of abbreviations Of the principal words com mouly used in the titles listed. The plan originally adopted has been generally followed. TO secure simplicity and to avoid a constant source Of error in proof reading the principal words are capitalized in all cases regardless Of the usage of the individual journals or of the countries from which they are issued. The rapid growth of the periodical literature making direct or indirect contri butions to agricultural science is shown by the fact that whereas the list published in 1905 contained only titles, the present list contains about titles in 15 or more languages.

This dictionary is a collection of acronyms, abbreviations, symbolic names, identifiers, and initials being used throughout IT- and engineering-related activities. They are used in industries, institutes, organizations and universities, all too often without their meanings being defined. Areas covered by this dictionary include: Information Technology; Electronics; Electrical Engineering; Telecommunications; Information Networks, including the Internet and World Wide Web; Computer-Aided Applications; Administration and Accounting; Manufacturing; Logistics and Planning; Automatic Control; and other related subjects. As well as technical terms, the dictionary lists abbreviated names of organizations, conferences, symposia and workshops. With over 32,000 items listed, the Dictionary of Acronyms and Technical Abbreviations is the most comprehensive and up-to-date work of its kind.
With 200,000 entries in over eighty different fields, Scientific and Technical Acronyms, Symbols, and Abbreviations is the most comprehensive reference of its type, covering more scientific and technical disciplines than any other available book. This invaluable resource will help scientists, engineers, and researchers understand and utilize current terminology in almost any field-from aeronautics to zoology. All accepted abbreviations, acronyms, and symbols are included, from the most obscure to the most common, as well as an appendix that provides important lists of units, systems of units, conversion factors, and prefixes. Science writers, journalists, translators, interpreters-anyone working in or around the sciences-will find this a helpful, easy-to-use guide to difficult technical jargon. Entries are listed in alphabetical order and are defined according to the field in which they are currently in use. Multiple definitions are listed for abbreviations and acronyms that may be in use in more than one field.
