References CASSI

A list of journal codes in alphabetical order, together with the journals to which they refer, is given immediately following these notes. Journal names are abbreviated throughout using the CASSI (Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index) system. 

Proceedings and abstracts of meetings and conferences are indexed in CASSI. The reference format follows that for periodicals. 

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

For reasons of economy of space, some volumes usually treated in this serial publication as books are styled as periodicals [as recommended by CASSI (Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index of the American Chemical Society)]. For example, Chem. Heterocycl. Compd. refers to the Weissberger-Taylor series The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds published by Wiley (Interscience) Alkaloids (London) is the Specialist Periodical Report, covering that subject, of the Chemical Society (London). 

The Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index, commonly referred to as CASSI, gives details of the journals and related literature cited in Chemical Abstracts since 1907. In addition, CASSI contains entries for those publications covered by Chemische Zentralblatt and its predecessors from 1830-1969 and the publications cited by Beilstein prior to 1907. The most recent printed cumulative edition of CASSI spanned the period 1907-2004. Printed supplements to CASSI were published quarterly from 2005 to 2009. The fourth quarterly supplement each year cumulated and replaced the preceding three supplements, and was effectively an annual update. Publication of the printed edition of CASSI ceased in 2009, but CASSI remains available and updated in a searchable CD-ROM format (CASSI on CD, first produced in the 1990s). 

Having obtained a reference from various sources or searches, one often needs to consult the original journal (the location of patents is discussed on p. ). The first step is to ascertain the full name of the journal, since it is the abbreviation that is generally given. Of course, everyone should be familiar with the abbreviations of the very important journals, such as J. Org. Chem., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., and so on, but references are often found to journals whose titles are not at all familiar (e.g., K. Skogs Lantbruksakad. Tidskr. or Nauchn. Tr. Mosk. Lesotekh. Inst.). In such cases, one consults the Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index (CASSI), with the most recent abbreviations in bold print. CASSI is available in a 1907-2004 cumulative, containing information 80,000 serial and nonserial publications. CASSI also lists journals covered by Chemisches Zentralblatt and its predecessors... 

Sometimes the place of publication of a journal changes. These are given as see references in CASSI. In these cases, use the see reference place of publication, not the original. 

The journal name is an essential component of a periodical reference citation. Abbreviate the name according to the Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index (CASSI) and italicize it. One-word journal names are not abbreviated (e.g., Biochemistry, Macromolecules, Nature, Science). No punctuation is added to end this field thus, a period will be there with an abbreviation but not with a spelled-out word. 

Figure 6. The apparent contact angles cav corresponding to the stable equilibrium states, as a function of 0- The other parameters are Pa = 0.1739 and Oq = 70°. The broken line part of the Cassie-Baxter (C-B) case does not represent stable equilibrium states it is drawn for reference. The experimental values of Abdelsalam et al [15] are also shown.

Journal abbreviations generally follow the practice of Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index (CASSI). In patent references, no distinction is made between patent applications and granted patents.
