We have received no. 1827 (10-16 Jan. 2008) of Times Higher Education
which appears to be a major change. They have dropped "supplement" from
the title and on p. 17 they say that "As we are no longer a supplement
of another publication nor owned by Rupert Murdoch's News International,
but part of an independent publishing group, we have lopped the last
word from out title to become Times Higher Education."

I sent a note to the editor asking if they were applying for a new ISSN.
I'm copying the reply that I received below.

Am I mistaken in thinking that it should have a new ISSN?

Dear Peter

Thank you for your enquiry but we have been told that as we have amended
rather than changed our title completely a new ISSN isn't necessary.

Best wishes
