Questions
Where does the abbreviation come from?
From the NLM Catalog of the US National Library of Medicine. Journals not in the catalogue have no NLM abbreviation, and the tool says so.
Should I search by ISSN or by title?
An ISSN gives one exact journal. A title search shows up to ten journals whose titles match.
