Re: Publication delayed journals Feustel, Carol (FEUSTECS) 22 Jul 2002 14:25 UTC

I've got another journal from a different publisher:
TOXICOLOGY AND INDUSTRIAL HEALTH.
Arnold / part of Hodder & Stoughton Ltd (2001-)

We've paid through v.18 for 2002.  I just received v.17#3 July 10.   There
was ONE YEAR between the receipt of vol.16 #2 and vol.16#3-5.

They'll want more money for v.19-unless we cancel it.  I tell my account
reps to warn the publishers that extreme delay may win their journal the
Cancellation List Award for that year.  I guess most of the publishers don't
care.

The funniest one was the apology I received from Haworth regarding
Journal of geriatric drug therapy
   - which is changing titles to Journal of Aging & Pharmacotherapy.  The
publisher is trying to "motivate the editor" to complete the next volume!  I
guess if the editor won't do his/her work the publishers' hands are tied!
Just don't charge us further, ok?
