ISSN Checklist
An ISSN checklist ensures that all necessary documents and details are in place when applying for an International Standard Serial Number. First, confirm that your publication qualifies as a serial, such as a journal or magazine. Complete the ISSN application form with essential details, including the publication's title, publisher information, frequency, and format (print or online). Some ISSN National Centers may require a sample issue or proof of publication. You will also need to provide additional metadata, such as language and format preferences. If there are any associated fees, ensure payment is made before submitting your application for review.
