list of abbrev. for journals (and non-abbreviated listing too).

[Ashraf Maleki]

Here, I had made a dataset of *Journal Citation Report 2011* that contatins
Web of Science subject categories, journal abbreviations, and journal
indicators. It works pretty well for database managements purposes. Please
note that journals are duplicated since most receive multiple subject
categories.
Hope it helps!
