If it were, the choice of ISSN would depend on what metadata the publisher submitted to CrossRef.<BR/><BR/>Hilmar, yep, it's much the same problem. I think some publishers have simply lost patience with the complicated history of journal names that they have inherited, and simply decide to treat them as all part of the same series. It's a nice example of the fragility of linking using metadata, or identifiers derived from metadata.Roderic Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00269598293846172649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16081779.post-8631208831828243322008-09-04T17:03:00.000+01:002008-09-04T17:03:00.000+01:00Funny - this strikes me as looking surprisingly si...Funny - this strikes me as looking surprisingly similar to the history graphs for taxonomic names.

Which ISSN do you use if you want to look up a paper in Canad. J. Res.? Or is that still the old pre-split 0366-6581?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
