here is a working example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{demo.bib}
@STRING{JVS = "J.Veg.Sci."}
@article{foo,
title={bar},
journal=JVS,
author={Me},
year=2010
}
\end{filecontents*}

\begin{document}

foo~\cite{foo}

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{demo}
\end{document}
