Use CAplus Core Journal Coverage List for standard abbreviations of journal names.
If the journal you are referencing is not included in CAplus, also check:
• The names of U.S. states and territories are abbreviated in the reference list; use the official two-letter U.S. Postal Service abbreviations after all U.S. cities except New York.
• To cite locations outside of the United States, include city and country names for all cities except London and Paris.
• The names of Australian states may be abbreviated using standard Australia Post abbreviations.
