English word abbreviations usually end in consonants, not vowels. For example, American is abbreviated as Am instead of Ame or Amer, Medicine or Medical is abbreviated as Med, MED, Eur is abbreviated as Eur, etc. Except Sci, abbreviations are all Sci, probably because vowel I is followed by vowel e, and the first letter of each abbreviation should be capitalized, not all uppercase or lowercase.
2 compressed alphabet method
Only a few words are abbreviated by compressed letters, such as Jpn instead of Jan in Japanese, and Natl instead of Nat in Jan and National. It is a common mistake for readers to write Japanese as Jan in references, such as the Japanese Journal of Ophthalmology. It should be abbreviated as JPN J Ophthalmol and the research report of National Cancer Institute of the United States is Natl Cancer Inst Res Rep. Nat is the abbreviation of Nature and Natural, for example, Nature Medicine and Nature Biotechnology are abbreviated as Natmed and Natbiotechnol respectively. In addition, CN is the country code of China, and China and Chinese should not be abbreviated as CN in the abbreviated titles of periodicals. It should be abbreviated as Chin. In order to avoid confusion with other commonly used abbreviations, compressed writing is adopted. For example, Japanese cannot be abbreviated as Jan, but Jan is a fixed abbreviation of January, National is abbreviated as Natl instead of Nat, or Nat is the abbreviation of Nature and Natural.
3 Subject name abbreviation

Physics, for example, is abbreviated as Phys, a word ending in -try. When abbreviated, -try is omitted together with the previous letters. For example, the chemical abbreviation is Chem, which also includes abbreviations of other adjectives.
