Consider the entire run of a serial before entering it under the heading for a person.  If different issues of the serial are known to have been or are likely to be created by different persons, do not enter the work under the heading for a person.

Enter a serial under the heading for a person only in instances in which one person is so closely connected to or involved with the serial that the publication seems unlikely to continue without that person.  Some types of serials that might sometimes be considered to be unlikely to continue without the person named as author are

1.   serials for which the same person is named as both author and publisher;

2.   serials that carry the whole name or part of the name of a person in the title;

3.   serials that do not emanate from a corporate body that might assure that the serial is continued.

Always lean toward not entering a serial under the heading for a person.
