A multi-volume bio-bibliographical dictionary covering scientists in the exact sciences from all countries and all time periods. For each scientist, there is brief biographical information, as well as a bibliography of the writing of the scientist.
In order to find a representative sample of journal-title abbreviations used in this tool, the Editor began a manual scan of the first volume on 2004, July 16. By February of 2006, the scan of the first 100 pages of the first volume was complete. Both society journals and independent journals were documented, and supplied with the full name, publication years and volumes all drawn from library catalogues. This work was tiresome in the extreme, in no small part because of the cryptic manner in which Poggendorff abbreviated many of the titles. The results of that scan may be accessed from Journal Title Abbreviations: Poggendorff Biographisch-Literarisches Handwörterbuch zur Geschichte der exakten Wissenschaften. |
