This is a list of all the journal abbreviations from Web of Science. It is not a perfect list, not least because of the numerous errors in the Web of Science list. However, it was quite a fast way of getting most of the nearly 90 000 journal titles and abbreviations into jabref, and could be useful for other bibliographic systems and/or doing it manually.
This was created using R (the only "programming language" i know), extracting the abbreviations from the web of science lists (https://images.webofknowledge.com/WOKRS520B4.1/help/WOS/A_abrvjt.html).
Feel free to help with improvements!
