ISSN Process
The ISSN process involves several steps to obtain a unique identifier for a serial publication, such as a journal or magazine. First, ensure your publication qualifies as a serial, published in multiple issues over time. Next, contact the appropriate ISSN National Center for your country and complete the application, providing details like the publication title, frequency, and format. After submitting your application, the ISSN center will review it and assign a unique ISSN if approved. This number is crucial for cataloging, indexing, and citation purposes. Once received, the ISSN should be used in all references to your serial publication.
