The CAS Source Index, generally known as CASSI is a listing of the bibliographic details of journals and other periodicals indexed in Chemical Abstracts. It was originally published in paper form, but this was discontinued in 2010.[1] It is available as an electronic database with other Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) products or as a free-standing CD-ROM: basic information is also available as a free web service.
A major use of CASSI is to determine the correct abbreviation for a journal title. Most chemical journals require journal titles to be abbreviated in line with Chemical Abstracts usage,[Note 1] which also ensures compatibility with ISO 4.[2]
