The same abbreviation has different meanings in neighbouring fields. How can an archive prevent confusion?

Record format: question; proposed response; source or method; limitation. Use a dated correction only if the underlying wording or evidence changes. Record RESEARCH-27840.

Expand it on first use and name the discipline and source context. Add a cross-reference for alternate meanings rather than assuming that every historical article uses the current convention.
