Publication Series

Publication Series are publications issued under a common name, logo, or design, and sometimes under a common editorship. These are generally created by publishers, not authors, and are also called publisher series. At present, the ISFDB database does not support publication series, although it has records for the individual publications, and the publication series may well be mentioned in the notes fields of such records. As a result, we are documenting publication series using the ISFDB wiki using either bibliographic comment pages or as sections of publisher pages. Many, but not all, such pages use the PubSeriesHeader header template.

This page lists the current publication series that are scattered throughout the ISFDB Wiki. Many of these are also included in the Publication Series category.
