A couple of quick comments about possible effects of this:

1) How will the journals be cited in the abstracts & indexes in which
they appear?  How will print volumes & issues correspond to the online
version?  For example, if a journal is indexed in Medline, will the
citation reflect the volume/Issue/pagination of the online or the print
issues?

2) Will the frequency of the "archival" print volumes be easily
verifiable so we can claim missing volumes in a timely way?

3) What will happen if T & F decides to unbundle print & electronic?  I
appreciate the fact that T & F continues to includes online with print,
but if this practice is discontinued then print subscribers will lose
out in getting current information.

Subject: [SERIALST] Change in print frequency for selected T&F journals

Apologies in advance if this information is not relevant to you.

Dear Subscribers

I am writing to advise that from 2006 selected Taylor & Francis Group
journals will be published online, then followed by one or more archival
print copies containing the issues published online during that period
of time.

T&F hopes this change in publishing will bring benefits to both authors
and readers by reducing the time between the submission and publication
of articles.

Please see below for a list of the journals affected:

Analytical Letters, 15 online issues and 5 print issues per volume.
Chemical Engineering Communications, 12 online issues and 4 print issues
per volume.
Combustion Science & Technology, 12 online issues and 4 print issues per
volume.
Communications in Partial Differential Equations, 12 online issues and 4
print issues per volume.
Drying Technology, 12 online issues and 4 print issues per volume.
Energy Sources Part A: Recovery, Utilization and Environmental Effects,
16 online issues and 4 print issues per volume.

per volume.
