Help:How to connect serials to titles

When entering a magazine containing a serialized work of fiction, enter the serialization in the standard format, e.g. "The Courts of Chaos (Part 1 of 3)" or "The People of the Golden Atom (Complete Novel)".

Once the submission has been approved, check to see if this work has been reprinted as a NOVEL or as SHORTFICTION. If it has, make each of the newly created SERIAL records into variant titles of the NOVEL or SHORTFICTION title record by following the instructions given here to add a variant. Note that serialized works are often given a different title when they appear in book form, so additional research may be required to identify reprints before you can create a variant title.

If the work has not been reprinted in book form, check to see whether the work appeared under a pseudonym and, if it did, create a variant title record credited to the canonical form of the author's name. A novel-length serialized work should be varianted to a NOVEL type record, and a less-than-novel-length serialized work should be varianted to a SHORTFICTION type record.
