"The ISO 4 standard defines the rules for the abbreviation of title words and titles of publications."

"The List of Title Word Abbreviations contains the words of the titles of serials processed by the ISSN network and their abbreviations. The List includes 55,650 words in about 70 languages. The words are abbreviated in accordance with the ISO 4 standard, for which the ISSN International Centre is the maintenance agency since 1974. In conformity with the field of application of this standard, the abbreviations can also be used for the abbreviations of titles of non serial publications. "

"Both BIOSIS and CASSI use the same guide (ISSN's List of Title Word Abbreviations) to build their abbreviations"
