Re: Angewandte Chemie change in 2007 Merle Kimball 25 Jan 2007 12:49 UTC
When the publisher starts using two different dates on their publication and it makes things crazy, I just drop the date completely. The volume and numbering is used only and it is the only variable information on the bound volume.

The first issue arrived without an exact publication date (normally found in the lower left corner of the cover). The only real indication of date was "1st & 2nd January Issues", located in the upper right corner of the cover. Prior to 2007, both dates were listed on the cover and the exact publication date was always about 2 weeks prior to the more generic date in the upper right corner. What I have found is that the exact date is provided when you look on the publisher's web-site. For the "1st & 2nd January Issues", the exact date is December 18, 2006. I emailed the publisher and was told that my observations were correct -- "The print issue will no longer have a publication date, because the online issue (and the article itself) is published days or weeks before the print version and that's the relevant publication dates. On the print issue we have the additional information" First January issue", "Second January issue", and so on...." Our Science Librarian would like to have the online "exact" publication date used, which will mean that we must look-up the title each time a new issue is received. We will also be hand-writing the exact date on the issues. What are others doing?
