ISSN Vs ISBN
ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) and ISBN (International Standard Book Number) are both unique identifiers, but they serve different purposes in publishing. ISSN is assigned to serial publications, such as journals, magazines, or newspapers, that are released in multiple issues or volumes over time. It applies to both print and online formats. On the other hand, ISBN is used to identify books, including specific editions and formats, whether digital or physical. While the ISSN applies to continuous publications, the ISBN is specific to standalone books, ensuring proper cataloging, distribution, and citation in the publishing industry.
