Warring States Papers
Journal AbbreviationsThe relevant portion of the following list is printed in each issue of WSP. These abbreviations may be used by authors to simplify references and citations within articles, and in the concluding Works Cited lists. They represent a minimum of presumed acquaintance; things that professionals do not need to keep continually explaining to other professionals. Journals not inviting an acronym, or which have an acronym as their title, are simply listed without further expansion. See also the separate page for Book abbreviations.
Conventions may be briefly explained: (1) Where a Chinese or Japanese journal has an English title, the English title is used as the basis for the acronym (this reduces romanzation-based conflicts). (2) Where identity of acronym would otherwise result, local ingenuity has been applied (see the T section for examples), sometimes by adding a lowercase latter within the code (see the A section). The simpler acronym is by courtesy assigned to the journal earlier founded. (3) Conflicts with acronyms for Warring States texts are not avoided, on the principle that context will adequately distinguish the two in practice, but (4) Conflicts are avoided with frequently cited journals in closely cognate fields (Ancient Near East, Classical Hellenic, India, Japan, New Testament, Old Testament)
The year of first issue is given where known. Symbols are: ~ "merged with," > "changed title to."
