What Is ISSN
ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) is an 8-digit unique identifier assigned to serial publications, such as journals, magazines, newspapers, and periodicals. It helps distinguish one serial from another and ensures accurate identification and citation. The ISSN is essential for cataloging and indexing purposes, making it easier for libraries, researchers, and publishers to manage and track serials. An ISSN can be used in both print and digital formats (e.g., ISSN-L for hybrid publications), and it supports the efficient handling of serialized content across platforms and citation systems. It ensures consistency and accessibility in scholarly communication.
