INTRODUCTION
In 1974 we started to scrutinize on a regular basis abstracting journals
such as the "INIS Atom Index" and the former "Nuclear Sience Abstracts"
replaced in 1976 by the "Energy Research Abstracts". This evaluation was
done in order to attract the attention of the scientists in our Institute
to new publications (reports, proceedings
etc.) in relation with the
programmes or their special field of interest. In addition we used the
possibilities of offline searches (ENDS/CID, ZAED, FIZ-INKA...)* that have
been available since the early seventies. In 1986 we introduced online
searching of scientific databases, which since has become a powerful tool
for fast literature retrieval (bibliographical data & abstracts; numerical
data).
Very soon we became confronted with the proliferation of abbreviations
especially in the field of analytical methods and instrumentation. Very
often authors, specialists in their field, refer to their method only by
mentioning the usual abbreviation or possibly "creating" a new one, hoping
that colleagues will understand. Normally there is not a problem for
persons involved in this special field. For those who are not familiar with
the subject however, it can be hard to understand when reading only short
abstracts or when an abbreviation can have different meanings. The online
searcher has to use the right abbreviations in order to have a high recall.
Since the search for such- abbreviations can be very time-consuming, we
began in 1986 to collect these systematically in order to give scientists
and online-searchers a reference list which may help to cope with these
difficulties.
For further information we suggest consulting the specialised publications
in spectroscopical or analytical journals. A list of other publications
dealing with abbreviations is given at the end of this handbook.
In addition we would like to mention the database "EURODICAUTOM" (host:
ECHO) of the Commission of the European Communities, which contains more
than 140.000 abbreviations. Furthermore EURODICAUTOM (Europe-Dictionnaire
automatise) contains about 500.000 multilingual (9 languages) terminology
cards which corresponds to about 2.5 million terms. Please contact:

EXPLANATORY NOTES
ARRANGEMENT
The abbreviations (acronyms, initial isms and other condensed forms) in this
document are arranged in alphabetical order. When two or more abbreviations are identical, the arrangement of the spelled-out form determines its
placement. The words in brackets are referring either to the full meaning
of a method, an instrument or an other term used frequently instead for the
preceding word.
CAPITALIZATION
Spelled-out forms of the abbreviations in this document are capitalized in
order to give a better understanding. In publications the spelled-out forms
(initial letters) are generally given in small letters.
HYPHENATION MARKS
They are given as they are generally found in the publications, since no
formal criteria exist (for example, GC/GC or FT-IR). Hyphenation marks were
not taken into account in the alphabetical arrangements.
NEW ENTRIES
Dotted line spaces are provided at the bottom of each page for the
insertion of new abbreviations and their meanings, if found else-where.
The critical point for any writer to remember is to spell out the complete
set of words and to place the abbreviation associated with the set of words
immediately following and then use it consistently.
If a document is long and the term does not recur until much later, the
term should be redefined as a courtesy to the reader.
Defining the abbreviations in footnotes or in a glossary of the publication may be helpful.
IUPAC strongly discourages the use of abbreviations in the titles and
abstracts of papers and urges editors and authors to reduce the number of
abbreviations in primary publications, textbooks to a minimum.
A particular effort should be made to avoid abbreviations that:
a) unnecessary duplicate the recommended abbreviations
(such as NMR, MS, IR etc.) or symbols
b) are ambiguous in their possible meanings
c) are based on incorrect use of language or grammar
DEFINITIONS
Abbreviation:
a shortended, condensed form of a word or group of words.
Some technical abbreviations have been so widely disseminated that they now
communicate successfully without further definition in analytical
instrumentation (for example the words GC, IR, LASER, MS, NMR, UV).
Acronym:
a pronounceable term from the initial letters of a compound
expression: MS from Mass Spectrometry and GC from Gas Chromatography.
Initial ism: a nonpronounceable term from the initial letters of a compound
expression: CDCCC from Centrifugal Droplet CounterCurrent Chromatography.

c) Search strategies
Abbreviations should be considered as complementary terms in a search
strategy. Always use the full spelling of a method (perhaps with some
truncations or proximity operators).
Difficulties can arise when there are different spellings of a method or if
these abbreviations are used for other methods or names, such as the
following example.

Note:
In the databases ENERGY and PHYS the titles and abstracts are contained in
the Basic Index and no specific search code is required. In the database CA
however the Basic Index contains only single words from titles and indexing
fields. To include also the abstracts in your search strategy you have to
specify the search code "/IA" which combines the Basic Index and the
Abstracts.
