ISSN Assigning Body
The ISSN assigning body is the organization responsible for issuing and managing ISSNs (International Standard Serial Numbers). The ISSN International Centre in Paris, France, coordinates the global system and oversees a network of ISSN National Centers in different countries. Each national center is responsible for assigning ISSNs to serial publications within its jurisdiction. For example, in the United States, the Library of Congress serves as the ISSN National Center, while in the UK, it is the British Library. These bodies ensure the proper cataloging and registration of serial publications worldwide.
