I received a reply to my questions regarding _Physics and Chemistry of the Earth_ less than 24 hours later! (Thank you, Fran!) The upshot is (and the info came from Elsevier): * There is indeed a Publisher's Note in Vol. 20, no. 1 explaining the changes in format. * The title is now being prepared in conjunction with the European Geophysical Society, publishing papers from their annual assemblies. * Because of the switch to publishing papers/proceedings, it was felt by the publisher best to change its format from hardback to softcover. * They hope to publish the title more frequently and to a more regular schedule (the Elsevier response didn't indicate a frequency, though). Exactly the information I needed, so that's one less thing sitting on my desk. Thanks again, SERIALST! --Kay Teel Serials Cataloger Elmer Holmes Bobst Library New York University teelk@elmer1.bobst.nyu.edu (2)------------------------ Date: Thu, 8 Feb 1996 11:53:39 -0500 From: Joanne Kuhn <jkuhn@LIBRARY.UWATERLOO.CA> Subject: Re: Physics and Chemistry of the Earth -request for info. Although we cancelled this title after vol. 19 our catalogue record shows that the first 9 volumes didn't carry distinctive titles and we began analyzing with v. 10.; v. 12 also didn't carry a distinctive title. Thus our treatment of this title is as a partially analyzed series. Since v. 20 doesn't have a distinctive title either I would say the publisher is continuing with earlier practice. Our check-in record shows that v. 17 and 18 were also issued in parts; v. 17 pt. 1 issued in 1990, v. 17 pt. 2 issued 1991; v. 18 pt. 1-2 issued in 1991, v. 18 pt. 3-6 issued in 1992; v. 19 pt.1-6 in one v. issued in 1992. It would appear that frequency is still irregular. Hope this helps.
