I have a TeX file including different chapters for my thesis. Each chapter is in a different TeX file imported in the main TeX file. I was wondering how to add the list of nomenclatures and abbreviations to my thesis. Should I write all of them one by one?

\addto\captionsenglish{\renewcommand{\contentsname}{\MakeUppercase{\bf Table of Contents}}}
\addto\captionsenglish{\renewcommand{\listtablename}{\bf LIST OF TABLES}}
\addto\captionsenglish{\renewcommand{\listfigurename}{\bf LIST OF FIGURES}}


bla bla bla

\clearpage
\tableofcontents

\clearpage
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\listtablename}
{\let\oldnumberline\numberline\renewcommand{\numberline}{\tablename~\oldnumberline}\listoftables}

\clearpage
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\listfigurename}
{\let\oldnumberline\numberline\renewcommand{\numberline}{\figurename~\oldnumberline}\listoffigures}

  • The fact that the chapters are in different files has no relevance. More important is how you define the nomenclature and abbreviation entries. – egreg May 13 '20 at 09:26
  • So how can I do that? I did for abbreviation but nomenclature I have no idea? – Turkan May 13 '20 at 09:56

I recommand acro package to create abbreviations and nomenclature. You can define both abbreviations and nomenclature using the \DeclareAcronym{}{} command by just changing the class name. For example:

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{acro}
\acsetup{first-style=short}
\DeclareAcronym{GMC}{
    short = GMC,
    long = G.M.Constructions,
    class = abbrev
}
\DeclareAcronym{SPM}{
    short = SPM,
    long = Sectro photo meter,
    class = abbrev
}
\DeclareAcronym{NY}{
    short = NY,
    long = New York,
    class = abbrev
}
\DeclareAcronym{L}{
    short = L,
    long = Litre,
    class = nomencl
}
\DeclareAcronym{mg}{
    short = mg,
    long = Milli gram,
    class = abbrev
}
\DeclareAcronym{mL}{
    short = mL,
    long = Milii Litre,
    class = nomencl
}
\DeclareAcronym{g}{
    short = g,
    long = Gram,
    class = abbrev
}
\begin{document}
    \ac{GMC} is one of the famous company. \ac{SPM} is used for analytical study of compounds. I live in \ac{NY}.   $1$ \ac{L} = $1000$ \ac{mL}. Similarly, $1$ \ac{g} = $1000$ \ac{mg}.
    \printacronyms[include-classes=abbrev,name=Abbreviations]
    \printacronyms[include-classes=nomencl,name=Nomenclature]       
\end{document}

The result is enter image description here

You can create separate tex file for each chapter and you can use the \ac{} in any of the file if once you defined all the acronym in the preamble of the document.
