For searching publication titles in Astrophysics Data System (ADS), you'll want to search for the "bibstem" field in ADS's search page.

ADS maintains this list that is helpful for finding the bibstem (bib codes) for journal abbreviations here: 

https://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs_doc/journals1.html

For example, if you are trying to search for the journal "Acta Astronautica" in ADS's home page, you would first find that title in the list of bib codes (bibstem) and type that abbreviation in the search bar in ADS's home page.  Make sure and type bibstem: and then the journal bib code (bibstem). Don't forget the colon :

So in this example, the bib code for "Acta Astronautica" would be AcAau:
