How do I get an ISSN (International Standard Serial Number)?
An ISSN is a unique 8 digit number, assigned to a serial publication (e.g. a journal, magazine or electronic journal). It acts as an identifier and allows potential subscribers/readers to locate the exact publication required.
The ISSN UK Centre, which is part of the British Library, is responsible for assigning ISSN to serials published in the United Kingdom. To obtain an ISSN for your serial publication, you need to contact the British Library directly. For more details, see the British Library website.
