The ISSN
(International Standard Serial Number) is an eight-digit number which
identifies periodical publications as such, including
electronic serials. More than
one million
ISSN numbers have so far been assigned.
It is managed by a world wide
network of 80 National Centres coordinated by an International Centre based in Paris,
backed by Unesco and the French Government.
The ISSN is used by various partners throughout the information chain: libraries,
subscription agents, researchers,
information scientists,
newsagents (through its barcode
version).
The world database of ISSN numbers (and the corresponding bibliographic records),
known as the
ISSN Register, is available on CD-ROM (ISSN Compact),
through a Web interface
(The ISSN Portal),
which may be freely evaluated and tested
for a period of one month. These products may be subscribed to through our
order form.
Publishers or other interested parties (libraries, documentation centres...) may request the
assignment of an ISSN to a given periodical,
if it does not yet have one. It is also possible, through the
ISSN checker form,
to check the ISSN number(s) being used in a document or web page.
