ISSN Meaning
ISSN stands for International Standard Serial Number. It is an 8-digit unique identifier used to distinguish serial publications, such as journals, magazines, newspapers, and periodicals, from other types of publications. The ISSN helps streamline the cataloging, citation, and management of serials in libraries, databases, and other scholarly platforms. The number ensures that each serial publication can be uniquely identified, facilitating easier access and proper citation. ISSNs can be assigned to both print and electronic formats of serial publications, ensuring consistent identification across different media types.
