Words that appear in author addresses are frequently abbreviated. Thomson Reuters abbreviates address words based on the following list. You should use these abbreviations when searching for addresses.
If the original publisher of a source document has abbreviated a common address term, the publisher's abbreviation may appear in the record and not our abbreviation. If you are familiar with an abbreviation that is not on this list, try searching for it along with our abbreviation.
