I don't think there really is an appropriate RDA relationship designator for this kind of relationship--at least not yet. I think this kind of relationship is best taken care of by a simple note, e.g. Articles originally published in: ... That could be in a 580, or in 787 with the note in $i

I think of it as being a standard abbreviation/symbol for a unit of measurement before any cataloguing code got hold of it. The same can’t be said of illustrations/ill. although I’m sure pages/p. can generate lots of debate over the weekend. Tom --- Thomas Meehan Head of Current Cataloguing

I suspect that part of the problem here is that we are still hoping that the level of aggregation-as-work will still be the assumed level that will be expected to be described for the future. It might, but I think we will see additional instances where dis-aggregation will be part of the mix,

Not sure about a simple rationale. But perhaps a simple rule of thumb would be: 1. For transcribed elements (including words quoted in notes), don't abbreviate what you see on the resource. 2. When recording other elements, generally don't abbreviate, except for the following:
