Thank you!
Now I know how to do it.

Help me guess the right abbreviation for references!
P

The journal that I am interested in requires the below reference style, which I am really unfamiliar to.
The challenging part is the abbrviation for the journal title
They are showing just one example as follows. (e.g. operation research --> Oper. Res. ).

Flynn J, Gartska SK (1990) A dynamic inventory model with periodic auditing. Oper. Res. 38(6):1089-1103.

On seeing only this example, I cannot guess how I can change the other journal titles in my references.
For example, what should I change 'journal of service marketing' into? What about 'journal of operations management'?

Could you please help me with this?

can I retract my abstract and submit the full paper to a journal?
P

I submitted my abstract (400 words) to a conference, and unexpectedly it was accepted to the poster session, not the oral one that I wish. The submission of the full paper is not mandatory for that conference. Honestly, going to that conference costs me a lot in terms of time and money, so if I have to present a poster, I would like to withdraw it. My supervisor suggested me to instead submit the full paper to a journal because I already have the full paper. I just want to make sure if it would be okay. Any advice will be appreciated!
