Jabref journal name abbreviations for astronomy
=====================================================
Many journals require you to submit references with abbreviated journal names, the style of which may vary from journal to journal.
Fortunately, Jabref_ provides an easy means of toggling your Bibtex catalogue journal entries between full and abbreviated form
(`Tools -> Abbreviate journal names`).
It's also possible to use your own custom list of journal abbreviations
(`Options -> Manage journal abbreviations`). Since I couldn't find any ready made lists of abbreviations for astronomers, I created this repository. Currently I've only provided an incomplete list of abbreviations in the MNRAS style, but this will grow over time, hopefully with the help of fellow astronomers.
I recommend that you maintain a \`long-form' bib file containing all your references with full-length journal names, and only make a copy for conversion to abbreviated form when you are actually submitting a paper. That way you prevent any risk of corrupting your reference catalogue through mishaps.
MNRAS abbreviation style:
-----------------------------
MNRAS require that journal names be in \`initials only' form for `frequently cited journals `_,
otherwise use the `IAU standard abbreviations `_.
