18. Title changes

19. Title Changes Ensure that a change to an existing title is based on a change in content or scope. Refrain from cosmetic title changes which often result in a loss of branding and user confusion.

20. Title Changes: Do • Consult appropriate ISSN center • Title changes may require a new ISSN • Implement at start of volume or year

21. Title Histories Provide a journal title history. Include the full journal title, publication date range, and ISSN for the current title and at least the immediately preceding and/or succeeding titles, as appropriate.

22. Users appreciate as full a journal title history as possible to show clear relationships such as previous or later titles. Librarians may be excellent sources of information about title histories. C Archie McPhee

25. ISSN • Each title over time needs a separate ISSN • Each format (e.g., print, online) needs a separate ISSN • Apply for any needed ISSN to the appropriate ISSN Center (an ISSN appendix is provided) • Display all appropriate ISSN on each format • Further information in the ISSN appendix

26. Numbering, publication information Enumeration system • Use one, even if only year • Keep it simple • Parallel across formats Publication information • Include “about” information including editors and boards • Link to title history • Include distinctive issue-level information

27. Access to Content • Provide means to display and access both current and former content • Ensure former titles are in browse lists and searchable • Retain all published content

28. Preservation of content digitized from print • Digitize all content, even blank and nearly blank pages • Digitize front and back covers • Digitize advertisements (part of the historical record) • Digitize all available content even if some is missing • Indicate any missing content

29. Next Steps • Finish getting feedback • Finalize and publish document • Distribute and publicize content • Print + online versions • NISO • U.S. ISSN Center? • Subscription agencies? • Enlist help from KBART? • Ask publishers to “sign-on” like KBART? • Develop symbol: “PIE-J Compliant”?
