Hi Liz,
This is indeed extremely confusing. I found this sentence in the subscription area of The Nation website (https://ssl.palmcoastd.com/06601/apps/ORDOPTION1LANDING?ikey=I**TOO):
“The Nation prints 36 issues per year.”
Not sure if that helps, but I thought I would pass it along.
Sally

Since this has come up, has anyone else noticed the change in the publication description. It used to be a pretty straightforward weekly except for the second week in January and biweekly in summer. Since 2013
(maybe 2012 also?) its this long and to me at least, confusing: "The Nation is published weekly (except for thirteen double issues and our four-week anniversary issue published the second week in January, the first and third weeks in March, from the first
through the last week in April, from the last week in June through the last week in September, the last week in November and the last week in December)." I can't for the life of me figure out if this still means there should be 26 issues each year. I'd definitely
appreciate any updated anyone gets from the publisher.

I agree with you, except I was told to number them as it is printed inside the publication and since this has gone on for a while…… I am not sure what
to do either.

I’m going to assume that whoever is in charge of the numbering (man or machine) has lost their mind. It should go, v.301:no.1/2 (July 6/13, 2015), v.301:no.3/4
(July 20/27, 2015), v.301:no.5/6 (August 3/10, 2015), and v.301:no.7/8 (August 17/24, 2015). At least in my opinion, the volume number should have changed with the first July issue. It’s the next issue that will really blow our minds with numbering, I’m
going to guess.

Yes!!!! I had my customer service rep at Ebsco call Nation today.
The customer service reps at Nation are not given any information …. So helpful. I sent a message to Nation directly off their website.
The title is a mess!

Subject: [SERIALST] numbering at The Nation
I am curious if anyone else is confused by the numeration of the latest issues of “The Nation”? I have had problems with this publisher’s numeration before, but they have moved
their game to a new level.
I have received, in succession:
A July 20/27, 2015 issue, marked as volume 300, no. 29. ( I think that is correct)
The next I received was the August 3/10, 2015 issue, marked as volume 301, no. 31 (Ok, given benefit of doubt, a typo…)
Latest issue received was August 17/24, 2015 – marked as volume 301, numbers 7 & 8 (no clue about this one…)
Has anyone gotten any information about how they
should be numbered?
Have I fallen into a parallel dimension in which all numeration is completely random, and this is now the way things are numbered?
Please help me understand…
