How do I find out the full title of a journal if I only have the abbreviation (e.g., Am J Anat or J Psychol Jud)?
If you found the abbreviation in a footnote in a book or article, the easiest way to find the full title is to check the bibliography; often the full title will be included in a bibliographic citation.If this doesn’t work or if the abbreviation came from another source, search for the abbreviation in the Journal Locator. In some cases, it will tell you the full title. If that doesn’t work, go to Abbreviation.com or ask about additional resources at the Reference Desk.
