In cases of doubt about whether a title change is major or minor, it is helpful to follow the precedent set by the ISSN assignment. Accordingly, I have asked the head of the UK ISSN centre to look into this situation and, if possible, make a decision about whether a new ISSN will be assigned or not. A preliminary indication is that a new ISSN may not be assigned but the final outcome will depend on the result of more investigation by the UK center. I will post a message when I receive a decision.
