Acknowledged, standard abbreviations are almost always acceptable. For example, how often do you see Mister in full, except as a joke? Obviously, private or local abbreviations should not be used except for purely private and/or local purposes.

Abbreviations in academic writing?

I'm a little confused by the question, but I think you are asking where to find abbreviations in academic writing, because there are too many to list here. I would suggest purchasing the most current MLA (Modern Language Association) Handbook, or find another writing resource guide, such as Rules For Writers, published by Bedford/St. Martin's. The classic guide to writing is Strunk & White, but most would argue that they are a bit outdated. I tend to agree. You can find a multitude of these resources at a college or university library if you don't want to buy one. You can also look up quick answers online, but if you are doing any type of academic writing, I would only go to a trusted source, such as the MLA website.


Why are abbreviations acceptable in formal reports as long as the word was spelled out correctly initially?

Abbreviations are acceptable in formal reports as long as the word was spelled out correctly initially, because the reader has been informed the meaning of the abbreviation. Using abbreviations cuts down on the length of the report without taking away from the message or meaning of it.
