Corporate & Institution Abbreviations

Corporate and institution names that appear in author addresses are frequently abbreviated, and you should use the abbreviations when entering search terms in the General Search or Place Search address fields. ISI abbreviates names based on the following list. Other address elements such as street address and department/division names and state/country names are also abbreviated. To be sure that you enter the exact abbreviation, you can highlight the abbreviation and then use your browser's copy and paste functions to copy the abbreviation from this page and paste it into the Address field on the General Search or Place Search pages. Note that if the original publisher has abbreviated an address, it appears in the ISI database in this abbreviated form, which may not conform to ISI's standards for abbreviation.
