Field Detail

### properties

    public Hashtable properties

  Additional properties used when the explicit attributes are not sufficient.

### name

    public String name

  A journal title. The list of available titles can be provided using a controlled vocabulary, taken, for example, from MEDLINE Journals. Such controlled vocabulary should be named `BibRefSupport.JOURNAL_TITLES`.

### issn

    public String issn

  A standard number for journals.

  Be aware, however, that in the real world even this attribute may change over time. Therefore, it is not suitable as a primary unique identifier for journals.

### abbreviation

    public String abbreviation

  An abbreviation of the journal title.

  Note that some repositories use more abbreviation systems. For such cases, use `dynamic properties` for additional abbreviations.

  An example for biological journals is in Biological Journals and Abbreviations.

  A controlled vocabulary with abbreviation should be named `BibRefSupport.JOURNAL_ABBREV`.
