World List

The London-based International Petroleum Exchange (IPE) is the second largest energy futures exchange in the world, listing futures contracts that represent the pricing benchmarks for two-thirds of the world s crude oil and the majority of middle distillate traded in Europe. IPE natural gas futures may also develop into an international benchmark as the European market develops larger sales volume.

Control laboratories have now been set up in many countries, such as the highly regarded control laboratory in Australia, and under the auspices of the International Biological Programme, a world list of Rhizobium Culture Collections has been published (Skinner et al., 1983), the strains listed being freely available to bona fide enquirers.

A number of units, terms, and symbols are not included in this list as they are denned in the place in the text where they are used. Very common abbreviations (gram, centimetre, etc.) have been omitted. The titles of journals are abbreviated according to the general style of World List of Scientific Periodicals (London, Butterworths, 1963-80).

Another list of abbreviations is offered by the Word List of Scientific Periodicals (44-45), The third edition of this work, published in 1952, contains abbreviations that follow the system recommended at an international conference of the International Institute of Intellectual Cooperation. The original World List abbreviations, published in 1927, required only slight modifications to comply with this system. 

The whole problem of abbreviated titles is aptly reviewed by Mitchell in his preface to the second edition of the World List, where he states that the use of abbreviated titles is a necessity in scientific literature, but unless the abbreviations have been devised so that each one indicates only one periodical and also unless they are in general use, they fail of their purpose. The Royal Society Scientific Information Conference, held in London from June 21 to July 2, 1948, recommended that the World List abbreviations be adopted by abstracting agencies. 

Pfiiicke and Hawelek in 1952 (SI) mention that the Chemisches Zentralblatt abbreviations are based on the World List and the rules of the International Institute of Intellectual Cooperation, as set forth in German Standard No. 1502 however, the list of journal title word abbreviations used by CZ and published in Periodica Chimica (31) shows considerable variation from the German Standard No. 1502. 

Thus there are two sets of abbreviations which have attained, at the very minimum, the nominal status of international standards. A comparison of the two lists—i.e., List of Periodicals Abstracted by Chemical Abstracts, most recently revised in 1956 with annual supplements for 1957, 1958, 1959, and 1960, and the World List of Scientific Periodicals, 1900-1950 —discloses the followink data ... 

In general, the citations in the World List are slightly longer than those in Chemical Abstracts. 

This difference in length of citation would be expected, because the World List must distinguish among nearly two and one half times as many journals as Chemical Abstracts. 

In each of the prefaces of the three editions of the World List, a special description of the rules employed in constructing the abbreviations is given. The rules of the International Code of Periodicals (1930) and its supplement (1932) were utilized in revising the directions given in the first edition (22). These rules, as they now exist, may be summarized as follows ... 

A more feasible plan was proposed by the International Institute of Intellectual Cooperation and, more recently, by the Royal Society. Let it be the responsibility of the periodical published to obtain an abbreviation that has the approval of either Chemical Abstracts or the World List (preferably both). This abbreviation would then appear printed on the covers and at the bottom of each page of the journal. Such a plan would make abbreviation problems a thing of the past.
