In order to find a representative sample of journal-title abbreviations
used in this tool, the Editor began a manual scan of the first
volume on 2004, July 16.
As of 2008, June 24, col.1 - col.484
(i.e. the first 242 pages) of v.1 of
Poggendorff's Biographisch-Literarisches Handwörterbuch had been
processed.
Both society journals and independent journals were
documented, and supplied with
the full name, publication years and volumes all drawn from library
catalogues.
This work was tiresome in the extreme, in no small part because of the
cryptic manner in which Poggendorff abbreviated many of the titles.
The results of that scan may be accessed from
