Haworth Press Sarah Tusa 11 Sep 2006 19:33 UTC

My complaint about Haworth Press has mostly been based on the fact that they
don't seem to know what a quarterly publication schedule is.  Their numbering
scheme and publication schedule for some of their titles has been goofy for
years.  Numbering things from 1 to 4, for example, does NOT make a publication
quarterly if numbers 1 and 2 are combined and numbers 3 and 4 are published
a year later (and also combined!)

Some major publishers admittedly produce journals with even more erratic numbering schemes or publication schedules, but it seems it would be very simple for
Haworth Press to adopt a more consistent schedule -- and quit calling a
publication a quarterly when it's published semi-annually at best!

I guess if they get caught up with the electronic side of things, we won't have
to care as much about the numbering and issue dates.

That's my venting session for the week.  Apologies for not being more helpful.
