How and when to use abbreviations
Scientific style

Some style manuals in the sciences (for example, Christiansen et al. 2020; Style Manual Subcommittee, Council of Science Editors 2014) list abbreviations that are standard in specific fields. (On a related note: Such manuals also serve as resources on accepted nomenclature.) Use these and other standard abbreviations when strongly warranted. Largely avoid others. Those that you do use should be introduced as carefully as you would introduce royalty.
