Journals that change ISSN #30

Closed sckott closed 2 years ago

sckott commented 2 years ago

In my work on looking for journals that are not currently publishing I found this one which changed title and ISSN from 2019 to 2020, see https://www.tandfonline.com/action/journalInformation?journalCode=uahr21

https://api.journalsdb.org/journals/1536-2426 (old) vs https://api.journalsdb.org/journals/2687-8003 (new)

Is there a way to crosswalk old to new ISSN with journalsdb in situations like these?

Yes we have a command we can run for these instances, and we have been combining journals as they come up. I went ahead and combined these so that the old ISSNs are part of the new ISSN-L. We lose some DOI count stats when we do this initially, but I believe Richard's process maps them back once the ISSNs are merged together.

Thanks Casey. In the future, as I find these, just open an issue here?

No problem! Yes, definitely.
