ISSN Regional Agency
An ISSN Regional Agency is part of the global network of organizations responsible for assigning International Standard Serial Numbers (ISSNs) to serial publications, such as journals, magazines, and newspapers. These agencies operate under the coordination of the ISSN International Centre in Paris and manage the registration of ISSNs within specific geographical regions. Regional agencies are responsible for handling applications, ensuring proper cataloging, and facilitating access to ISSN services. For example, in Europe, the ISSN Regional Centre for Europe handles many European countries, while other regions, such as Africa, Asia, and the Americas, have their own regional agencies. You can contact these regional agencies through their national centers for assistance with ISSN applications and related services. To find the regional agency for your country, visit the ISSN International Centre website.
