Smart Abbreviator is a Microsoft® Word add-in tool designed for the pharmaceutical industry to support the creation of abbreviation tables. This tool helps reduce the burden of creating abbreviation tables and enables centralized abbreviation management.
The creation and quality control (QC) of abbreviation tables require considerable time and effort, despite their relatively low priority within pharmaceutical documents. The process includes extracting abbreviations used in the document and checking for the presence and accuracy of their corresponding full spellings.
This tool provides an automated process for these tasks within documents, aiming to reduce the burden on authors.
