Period with CASSI abbreviations

For some periodicals whose CASSI abbreviation includes a place of publication, you need not add the place of publication unless its omission would create ambiguity. If CASSI lists only one journal with a given main title, there is no ambiguity in omitting the place of publication. 

Government agency references can also be given with CASSI abbreviations. In that case, the format is the same as for periodicals.

If the periodical abbreviation in CASSI shows a hyphen with spaces on both sides, change the hyphen to an em dash closed up on each side. 

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 .
