list of abbreviated journal names
As a followup to my previous post, I wrote a script to generate the master list of journal names and their abbreviations from Web of Science.
The script is designed to be used in conjunction with the previous one, and is also written in perl (which I’m still learning) and can be downloaded here or viewed here. Improvements and suggestions welcome.
At the bottom of the script is a list of my custom journal names and abbreviations. Feel free to adjust the script to suit your needs.
To run the script:
save it to the jabbrev directory;
open a terminal and type:
cd path/to/jabbrev mv getJlist.txt getJlist.pl chmod a+x getJlist.pl ./getJlist.pl
The script replaces the masterlist.txt file with one containing the recently downloaded list of journals. Alternatively, just download the masterlist.txt file directly. Because this master list is pretty big (~3.7 MB), you’ll want to extract only those journals that are in your Mendeley database. To do this, run script.pl (see previous post).

open source SpaDES simulation platform. He completed his PhD at Simon
Fraser University modelling host selection in mountain pine beetle (MPB),
and postdoctoral research at Université Laval and Natural Resources Canada
developing forecasting models of MPB spread.
He currently operates FOR-CAST Research & Analytics in Calgary, Canada, which supports the development and integration of models simulating forest vegetation dynamics, wildfire, insect disturbance, and wildlife populations to inform decision making for land management and species at risk. He is an advocate for open source, open data, and reproducible workflows.
