ISSN Office
An ISSN office refers to the official office or organization responsible for managing and assigning International Standard Serial Numbers (ISSNs) to serial publications like journals, magazines, and newspapers. The global governing body for the ISSN system is the ISSN International Centre, located in Paris, France. This center coordinates a network of ISSN National Centers across various countries. Each national office handles ISSN applications, registration, and inquiries within its specific region. For example, in the United States, the Library of Congress functions as the ISSN National Center. These offices ensure accurate cataloging, indexing, and tracking of serials in both print and digital formats.
