ISSN Format
The ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) format is a unique eight-digit code used to identify serial publications, including online journals. Here's how it's structured: Format: ####-#### Digits 1-7: The first seven digits are sequential numbers that identify the publication. Digit 8: The last digit is a check digit, which ensures the accuracy and validity of the ISSN. It's calculated using a specific algorithm based on the first seven digits. For example, an ISSN might look like this: 1234-5679. This unique identifier helps in efficient cataloging, citation, and management of serial publications worldwide.
