Someone conducting a search may not know an organization's full name in order to derive the correct acronym or abbreviation. The meanings of an acronym or abbreviation can also vary from one discipline to another. Someone may also conduct a search using the most descriptive or explanatory words in an organization's name whether they know the entire name or not. Having both the full name and acronym or abbreviation in the same field can help you be found during searches. You can use descriptive words, phrases, and action phrases separated by commas, colons, or semicolons.
Some faculty members prefer using full sentences to describe their expertise.
Other faculty members choose to write their information similar in form to an Abstract. Being consistent in the writing style helps your reader better interpret your information. You may wish to write your information as if it were independent of those headings. You choose what best suits your needs and the list that you're describing. Please remember that your peers and the world are viewing and making observations based upon what you have entered.
