Who cares about issues? I can't remember the issue number for any journal article I've ever read, nor what other articles showed up in the same issue. The issue number is just a meaningless line in my bibtex file.
This was important back when journals were distributed by print. It isn't now.
My experience with academic publishers, including Springer, is that their involvement has made my work strictly worse, in direct proportion to how much they have been involved.

- pedro_fartinez 5y agoI work in a field ancillary to scholarly publishing, as a super-aggregator of published scholarly articles, and our systems are reliant on the concept of an "issue" as a primary key to group articles. With some of these older industries, it's reasonable to assume their systems were built to fit domain models that predate the conception of online-first publication (and the deprecation of "issues").
