The purpose of abbreviations of journal titles, like the use of symbols for the chemical elements and symbols for physical constants, is primarily to provide the technical worker with a means of saving time and effort in his own writing, as well as secondarily to save some printing space in technical journals. It should be as obvious as in the use of element symbols or technical terms that the abbreviation of journal citations should be uniform in character and intelligible to all who read them.
