I noticed the same thing with Elsevier journals recently also. They seem to be systematically going over to a new system of giving each issue its own volume number. Really confused my faculty - they thought we had lost access to the issues.

Over the last year or so, several of our Elsevier titles have been going to this weird enumeration. Each issue is a new ‘volume’. It doesn’t make sense to me either but we’ve come to accept it as the way it is.

Subject: Re: [SERIALST] Review of Financial Economics

 

Hi, everyone.

 

Is anyone else aware of any funny goings on with volume and issue numbering of Review of Financial Economics?  For at least awhile now, they have published it as four issues, each issue part of a single volume in a year.  The January issue is labeled v.24, but does not have a volume issue on it.  We did not think anything of it and just checked it in as v.24 issue 1.  Then, the April issue arrived labeled as v.25, but we thought that was just a misprint.  And I think it was today that the September issue arrived labeled v.26 arrived.  So, the publisher is apparently publishing each issue as its own volume, but that just seems really weird. 

 

Sincerely,
