Short form of the title of the journal in which an article is published.
Many publishers and archives keep an authority file of approved journal title abbreviations. The @abbrev-type attribute may be used to hold the name of the authority (if known) that defined this particular abbreviation. For example, “nlm-ta” for the NLM title abbreviation or “publisher” for an abbreviation defined by a publisher such as Elsevier, Wiley, or Blackwell.
More than one abbreviated title may be provided for any given article, possibly using different authorities to determine the abbreviations.
