《情报学刊》1980年第四期上刊登了葛冠雄同志写的《全国期刊名称缩写方法标准化刍议》一文,第一次在我国比较全面地探讨了这个问题。本文拟对其中提到的汉文刊名缩写提点商榷性看法。刊名为什么要缩写?为的是节省书写(也包括打字、拣字等)及阅读刊名时需要花费的时间,以及节省记录刊名时所需要占用的篇幅。设若缩写后的刊名能和刊名全称同样方便地或者能够更方便地被人们辨识,那么,这样的缩写刊名可谓达到了上述目的,即它是有效的、可行的。拉丁语系和斯 In the fourth issue of Information Science Magazine, published in the fourth issue of 1980, Comrade Ge Guanxiong wrote an article entitled “Standardization of Methods of Abbreviation in National Journal Names”, and for the first time, this issue was discussed in China in a more comprehensive manner. This article intends to put forward the point of view of the Chinese abbreviation mentioned in the discussion point of view. Why abbreviations? In order to save writing (including typing, picking words, etc.) and the time spent reading the title, and save the time required to record the length of space. If the abbreviated title can be as easily or more readily identifiable as the full title, then such an abbreviated title can be said to have achieved the above objective: that is, it is effective and feasible.
