The NISO initiative PIE-J is working on this very problem. They hope to have NISO Recommended Practice out soon. More information can be found here:

Interestingly, Bob Boissy from Springer is the co-chair of PIE-J. Perhaps he can provide you with some more information on the status of the work they are doing.

Hope this helps,

Sally

Subject: [SERIALST] E-contect incorrectly listed

The journal title Attention, perception & psychophysics is available via SpringerLink from 1966 to date. However, prior to 2009 the journal titles was simply Perception & psychophysics; and when exporting citations for pre-2009 articles the new (and in this case inaccurate title) is utilized. Here’s an example:

Reference Type: Journal Article

Author: Fraisse, Paul

Primary Title: Visual perceptive simultaneity and masking of letters successively presented

Journal Name: Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics

Cover Date: 1966-09-01

Publisher: Springer New York

Issn: 1943-3921

Subject: Behavioral Science

Volume: 1

Doi: 10.3758/BF03215789

I contacted SpringerLink and they didn’t think there was anything wrong with this. In the Academic setting this might well confuse a researcher.

I’m sure there are others that are similar. What can we do to prevent this?
