Re: Need examples of quirky e-journals

Another example is SpringerLink. All of their archive titles are listed under the newest name. This leads to some peculiar volume and year numbering.
For a specific example look at Journal of Molecular Neuroscience. Volumes from Molecular and Chemical Neuropathology (1989-1998) are interfiled by volume number with Journal of Molecular Neuroscience.
Another example is Abdominal Imaging. Volumes from Gastrointestinal Radiology are interspersed through Abdominal Imaging.
All the currently English titles that started out in German are also in this category.
