Issues

Current issue: Vol. 146, No. 1310, February 2026

Note that once an issue has been published it is essentially "cast in stone", i.e., the content is fixed and is not changed, the only exceptions being correction of typos and replacing "in press" with the proper reference. (In such rare cases, the original published versions are available via replacing filename.pdf with filename_final.pdf, where filename is, e.g., 1310, 1310_print, 1310_booklet, and similarly for the individual new PDF file(s). Yes, the previous, uncorrected, version is filename_final.pdf and the current version is, as always, filename.pdf.) Mistakes needing an erratum will have an erratum published with a link to the original item and vice versa.

Mailing list

Note that (in the last several decades) there is one volume per year with a number 1880 less than the year, e.g. 2024 is volume 144. Per volume (again, in the last several decades) there are six issues, nominally published on the first day of the even-numbered months. Issue numbers are cumulative (i.e. do not start over at 1 with each new volume) and are the name of the PDF file of the corresponding issue. For full details on what was numbered when and why, see the last full paragraph on p. 2 of Dave Stickland's history of the first 125 years (1877–2002) of the Magazine.
