Elsevier especially seems to have fallen in love with acronyms.

European Journal of Surgical Oncology Colleagues All: Apparently this has been happening with most of the 2003 issues. (I am too lazy right now to go downstairs and look at each issue). European Journal of SUrgical Oncology, has placed on its cover EJSO the Journal of Cancer Surgery (smaller print). Above the acronym, it gives the names of the societies that it is the Official Journal of. (sic) The Spine of the Issues now say only EJSO . The Table of Contents and the First page of each article display EJSO (large print and in miniscule print below add "European Journal of Surgical Oncology"). The information the publisher places in the issues describing the Aims/Scope, the publication information, mailing, advertising, etc. only indicate EJSO (quick question) What is the proper term for this publisher information placed in the issue(s)) Aims & Scope " The EJSO aims to educate and inform..." Publication information "EJSO (ISSN 0748-7983). For 2003,.... " The issn is still for European Journal of Surgical Oncology. Both OCLC and the National Library of Medicine Catalog still have European Journal of Surgical Oncology. All thoughts, rantings and ravings will be greatly appreciated. If one of the latter two, please delete the expletives.(I rant and rave too much, so I know) Have a great rest of your lives (a day is too limited) 2)_____ Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2003 07:23:27 -0400 From: John Radencich <radencic@fiu.edu> Subject: Re: Question on possible title change??? European Journal of Surgical Oncology See AACR 21.2A2a: Minor change when it is in the representation of a word. E.G. "abbreviated word or sign or symbol vs. spelled out form." EJSO, as opposed to European journal of surgical oncology, seems to fit the bill as a minor change. I'd do something on the lines of 246 1 $i Vols. for 2003- have title in abbreviated form: $a EJSO. Word it however you want: you can just call it a variant title, other title, so on. I've been around long enough to know there's a good bet that eventually they will go back to using the full form of the title, with or without the initials.
