Adding book to series/author name change

I fixed Andrei's name and the initials, but I am not sure that this is considered a series by GR definition.
The other issues are all a part of it (under Andromeda Spaceways Magazine). I remember other magazines like ASM having a series associated with their issues (i.e. Clarkesworld), but now—after further investigation—I see that that has changed. Is this new on Goodreads? What would you consider it, if not a series? I’m unsure.Thanks!
For GR standards a series has to have shared characters or world or continuity of some sort. For tracking other types of series, a list (Listopia) can be created.
These might not even belong on Goodreads, considering they're a magazine. A lot of the Clarkesworld issues were deleted in an mass project; unless they were actually published in bound form with an ISBN (not in regular magazine format) or in Kindle format with an ASIN, magazines generally aren't allowed on Goodreads.
Ahh, okay! I was curious about that; I noticed a huge overhaul of magazines like Clarkesworld. What should happen from here?

I'll take a look at it, and maybe I can also post it in the "looking for a project" thread.
Okay, just keep me updated on the progress of the project. Thank you for both of your quick responses and help. It’s much appreciated.
I just posted a new issue of Andromeda Spaceways Magazine (72). Could a librarian please add it to the mag's series?
Also, just so I'm not making two posts, could you change a few names around. One in ASM's Best of 2017: Andrei Selzenev should be Seleznev. Another few are in Issue 67: Names that use their initials should be read as, for example, M.C. Childs, not M C Childs (these are my bad!).
Thank you.
Kind regards,
