exciter  +  365312 Tue, 15 May 07 05:34 PM Hello people, I would like to ask two questions: 1. I am in academy and would like to learn about abbrevations used in academic papers, such as "et al", "e.g."... Could you provide me a good internet adress where it lists these abbreviations with their explanations? I searched over google, but surprisingly could not find a satisfactory, in terms of briefness, adress. 2. Are you aware of an abbreviation for "respectively"? I present numbers in my paper and I frequently use this word but it is a long word and if there is a legal, formal abbreviation for it, I would love to use it, which also will save space! Thank you in advance. exciter Joined on Sat, Jan 29 2005 Junior Member 65 Abbreviations
