ISSN Application

To apply for an ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) for your serial publication, start by ensuring your publication qualifies as a serial, such as a journal, magazine, or newsletter. Next, contact the ISSN National Center in your country (e.g., Library of Congress in the U.S. or British Library in the UK) and complete the application form. You’ll need to provide details such as the title, publisher, frequency, and format of your publication. Once submitted, the center will review your application, and if approved, assign a unique ISSN. Some centers may charge a fee for registration.
