I try to use the abreviation found in the following book:
"How to write an publish a scientific paper", by Robert A. Day, ISI Press,
Philadelphia, 1979. Pages 134-138.

"The art of Scientific Writting", by Ebel, Bliefert and Russey, VCH
Verlagsgesellschaft mbH, D-6940 Weinheim/Fed. Rep. Germany, 1987. Pages
412-416.

Those book are very usefull for that kind of information (and a lot of
other informations).
