RE: Comparative biochemistry and physiology, Parts A, B, C
NSDP may have handled Part B in the process of confirming ISSN
for the U.S. Postal Service; however, the British ISSN Center is
responsible for Pergamon titles, and it would be left to their
judgement as to whether or not the change in scope warrants new
ISSN assignments. As I'm sure many of you are aware, publishers
often print the ISSN of previous titles on new publications,
either through oversight or because they don't view the new
wording as a title change. My guess is that Pergamon considered
this a new cover design rather than a title change and thus did
not apply for new ISSN. I have asked Judy to send us photocopies
of the relevant pages, and we will then be able to determine if
new records are in order. We will also fax the British ISSN
Center so they can decide if they wish to asign new ISSN.
NSDP is always glad to receive surrogates showing incorrect ISSN
for U.S. publications, and will contact publishers and assign new
ISSN as appropriate. To get help with any ISSN problem, feel free
to contact Regina Reynolds, Head of the National Serials Data
Program, at rrey@seq1.loc.gov, or at the address or phone number
