Abstract

This is a minimal working example of how to automatically abbreviate journal titles in the bibliography. Simply copy all jabbrv files into the document and add \usepackage{jabbrv} to the preamble. https://github.com/compholio/jabbrv

\documentclass[letterpaper,11pt]{article}


% Use \usepackage[warnundef]{jabbrv} to show undefined abbreviation warnings
\usepackage{jabbrv}

% Old-school compressed citations:
%\usepackage{cite}
% New way for compressed citations (hyperref compatible):
\usepackage[numbers,sort&compress]{natbib}

% Defining a custom abbreviation:
\DefineJournalAbbreviation{Test}{Tes} % <-- Note that there is no period!

% Define custom commands used in the BibTeX file:
\newcommand{\tjri}{Test Journal of Reference Information}

\begin{document}

Test 
\cite{%
    ref:TestNoPeriod,ref:TestDiacritic,ref:TestException,ref:Test,ref:TestJabbrv,ref:TestPeriod,%
    ref:TestPeriodTwoWords,ref:TestPeriodRefInf,ref:TestPeriodInf,ref:TestMyAbbrvOneWord,%
    ref:TestMyAbbrvTwoWords,ref:TestPeriodInfPeriod,ref:CmdTest,ref:AbbrvTest,%
    ref:TestNBSP,%
    ref:TestSlash,%
    ref:TestSlashSpace,%
    ref:TestUnderscore,%
    ref:SymbolTest%
}.
\JournalTitle{Briefings in Functional Genomics}.

\bibliographystyle{jabbrv_unsrt} % <-- Note that a custom jabbrv-compatible style is used!
%\bibliographystyle{jabbrv_vancouver} % Needs the option noperiod
\bibliography{example}
