I'm guessing this needs to be a general project list as I'm fairly sure we all come across series like this but don't have time to work on them ourselves just then...

Routledge History of Philosophy

Needs title fields sorting, and then the series removing to a Listopia.

probably these?

This is a valid series. Shared world and at least one character in common (magic shop owner).

Clarkesworld is a series, currently. The policy is under review I believe. It's a quirk for literary magazines with ASINs/ISBNs... The anthologies are also currently considered series. Rule of thumb is to consider whether the work would still be in that series if it was republished by another publisher, e.g. in translation. The Routledge "series" clearly fails that test. Shared characters / world never (or very rarely) works for non-fiction or anthology series, but as all editions are part of that series, a Listopia is a problem because it only is attached to a specific edition not all editions of that title... I'm not sure if we have an easy resolution.

If so, they're taking a mighty long time to review. Magazines definitely do not fit the current policy (no shared characters/universe), and if they were to change the policy to allow them, it would throw the whole policy in the ash can. I don't know how they could justify allowing magazines and not publisher imprints.

A sequence of magazines, unless they have a common set of characters or a shared universe, would not meet our criteria for a series.

These 54 books have nothing in common except the author. I believe Jules Verne's original (French) publisher marketed them as a sequence.

Not currently relevant, but they could be permitted as a serial, i.e. one publication that has been split into an infinite number.

Magazines would always be very different from Publisher Imprints because they are intrinsically always part of the sequence, no matter who republishes the work. A publisher-created sequence is tied to the publisher not the work, so once it's reprinted (e.g. in translation), then new new edition is no longer part of the sequence. I'm using the word sequence to avoid saying "series" which is a defined term in Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ :)
