It is guess work but it looks like it is more manageable than some frequency changes I've had to deal with (like going from monthly to 8 per year and not knowing what months are skipped, etc.). The print issues are proportional to the online issues for most of the titles. Inhalation Toxicology is the only one that appears to present a problem as it goes from 14 to 4 issues, but I don't imagine it is too difficult to estimate a quarterly based on a monthly with a couple of extra issues. Yes, a pain in the butt this first year. But it isn't as horrible as it might have been. I agree that it would be more re-assuring if they would include the printing schedules within the print issues but at least they gave out some warning in advance to prepare for this. Too many times, we have to deal with these changes totally after the fact. I'd take a dozen T&F journals any day over some of the irregulars we try to corral for our collections.
