Hello,

My next project in Mendeley is to add "Journal Abbreviations".
Currently Mendeley Desktop has a workaround but it doesn't have proper
support (with UI, etc.).

In this feedback page:
http://feedback.mendeley.com/forums/4941-mendeley-feedback/suggestions/83173-journal-abbreviations

some users has posted a file with the format:
FULL_JOURNAL_NAME <tab> abbreviated

See for example:
http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/75692408/AbbreviationsFixMendeley.zip

It seems that the users has been sending this file between them and improving.

I don't really know from where the original data came but I know that
has been used for a while for many users.

Questions:
a) Should the citation styles github repository contain a list of
journal abbreviations? We have citations and locales, so it may be
interesting for the community.
b) Could we use without legal problems the above file in the
citation-styles project? Mendeley hasn't done it, it has evolved from
different sources. Maybe it comes from places like
http://www.library.uq.edu.au/faqs/endnote/journal_terms.html but I
haven't checked.

Regards,
