Is it right to have exactly same acronym (IJPBS) for 2 different journal names?

Chithan C Kandaswami

Dr. Menezes,

It is not proper!

In your examples, the titles are different though, as are the websites. Both seem to be published out of India.

“International Journal of Pharma and Bio Sciences"

IJPBS (www.ijpbs.com) - Archives - 5 Volumes

"International Journal of Pharma and Bio Sciences" - Archives - 6 Volumes

http://www.ijpbs.net/

Journal title duplication may be owing to the surge in open-access journals . Examples:

Established journal: The Journal of Agricultural Science (JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE - J AGR SCI)

New journal: Journal of Agricultural Science (JAS)

Nagendra Singh Chauhan

THE JOURNAL IS IDENTIFIED ON THE BASIS NAME AND ISSN NUMBER. BOTH ARE DIFFERENT IN ABOVE QUESTION SO NO PROBLEM

Erik Reimhult

It is not a real problem since all proper journals have their unique CASSI identifier in addition to ISSN as pointed out above. But it is irritating...

Dr. Reimhult,

Thank you!

It may not so much be an issue. Nevertheless, it is a confusing one, if one may say so. This is because of the pervasive nature of using abbreviations. Perhaps, abbreviated titles garner more exposures. Short end of the stick! In the case of this question (in the current thread), both the identified journals have been instituted one after the other, in the time-line. And, both are published from India. Perhaps the publishers could have changed the situation. Is the current example the only case of two journals with identical abbreviated titles? In the case of the "(The) Journal of Agricultural Science", the issue appears to be seemingly more acute (two journals with the same titles). !

The monthly journal, Biochemistry (Moscow), is the international English edition of the Russian scientific research journal, Biokhimiya, founded in 1936. by the Russian Academy of Sciences (formerly Academy of Sciences of the USSR) and the Russian Biochemical Society. The journal, "Biochemistry", an ACS publication, founded in 1962, is published weekly.

Miranda Yeoh

Dear Dr Godfred, it's not something that I like at all. But right or wrong, it's happening! Is it likely that new journals want to 'stand on the shoulders' of established journals?
