Subject: RE: RSA JOURNAL NUMBERING SYSTEM Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2001 17:31:22 -0000 From: Amanda Jordan <Amanda.Jordan@rsa.org.uk> To: "'Merle A. Kimball'" <makimb@mail.wm.edu> Dear Ms Kimball, Thank you for your enquiry. As regards the numbering of the RSA Journals, we have not kept to a uniform numbering system this year, as the Journal has undergone many changes, not least of which was its switch from quarterly to bi-monthly. So far this year there have been 3 Journals, and the 4th is due to be published in December. They have been labelled thus: 1|4 April 2001 2|4 August 2001 3|4 October 2001 4|4 December 2001 As of next year, we will start to label the Journals according to their new bi-monthly status, therefore: 1|6 February 2002 2|6 April 2002 3|6 June 2002 etc... We will also be reinstating the Volume numbers at the start of next year, so the first issue will be Vol. CXLIX, No. 5500, 1|6 2002. I am afraid the website is wrong, as we have not yet progressed to the 1|6, 2|6 numbering system. I will put Journal 1|4 2001and Journal 2|4 2001 in the post for you today. I am sorry they were never received.
