  • Field Details

    • properties

      Additional properties used when the explicit attributes are not sufficient.
    • name

      public String name
      A journal title. The list of available titles can be provided using a controlled vocabulary, taken, for example, from MEDLINE Journals. Such controlled vocabulary should be named BibRefSupport.JOURNAL_TITLES.
    • issn

      public String issn

      A standard number for journals.

      Be aware, however, that in the real world even this attribute may change over time. Therefore, it is not suitable as a primary unique identifier for journals.

    • abbreviation

      An abbreviation of the journal title.

      Note that some repositories use more abbreviation systems. For such cases, use dynamic properties for additional abbreviations.

      An example for biological journals is in Biological Journals and Abbreviations.

      A controlled vocabulary with abbreviation should be named BibRefSupport.JOURNAL_ABBREV.
