Following the above lists, the journals, books, and other reference sources most frequently used are given, together with our abbreviations for them (See pp Abbr 66-76), Journal abbreviations, not included in our list, are the same as given in the "List of Periodicals Abstracted by Chemical Abstracts, Ohio University, Columbus 10, Ohio (1956), except that we do not use periods and leave no space between abbreviated words. Although the French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese books and journals do not capitalize the words in titles (except the first word) we use captials, as is the practice in abbreviating US and British journals... 

References to the literature. References to the original data are given in the text, as Washburn.2 The exact citation can then be found in the list of references, which are given in alphabetical (and numerical) order, as Washburn,2 Bur. Standards J. Research 10, 525 (1933), where the numerals indicate, respectively, the volume, page, and year. The abbreviations used for the titles of the periodicals are those adopted as standard by the International Union of Chemistry (See, for example, Chemical Abstracts List of Periodicals Abstracted ). When the citation is that of a book, it is written as Washburn, Introduction to the Principles of Physical Chemistry, McGraw-Hill Book Co., New York (1921), where the title is in quotation marks, and then in order follow the name of the publisher, the place of publication, and, in parentheses, the year of publication. If the book citation includes volume and page numbers, these follow immediately after the title. 

Other materials to aid your study include lists of standard symbols and abbreviations for variables, units, and subatomic particles, found in Appendix 2.

A periodic table is printed inside the front cover of the book, and a table of the elements appears inside the back cover. Let these tools help you succeed ... 

The SCI is designed to make up for this gap. The citation index of SCI lists all papers, patents, or books cited in a given year or 2-month period (by first author only) and then gives a list of papers that have done the citing. The index is published bimonthly and cumulated annually. For example, column 43,901 of the 1989 citation index shows that the Jencks paper mentioned above was cited as a footnote in 16 papers published in 1989. It is reasonable to assume that most of the papers that cited the Jencks paper were on closely related subjects. For each of the 16 papers are listed the first author, journal abbreviation, volume and page numbers, and year. In a similar manner, if one consulted SCI for all the years from 1968 on, one would have a complete list of papers that cited that paper. One could obviously broaden the search by then consulting SCI (from 1989 on) for papers that cited these 16 papers, and so on. Papers, patents, or books listed, for example, in the 1989 SCI may go back many years (e.g., papers published by Einstein in 1905 and 1906 are included). The only... 

Publications such as book series that are periodical in nature but are not journals may be styled as either books or journals. CASSI lists every document abstracted and indexed by the Chemical Abstracts Service hence, book titles are included and abbreviated. Key words to look for with these types of publications include Advances , Methods , Progress , and Series .
