What is the difference between ISSN and e ISSN?
e-ISSN (or eISSN) is a standard label for Electronic ISSN, the ISSN for the electronic media (online) version of a serial. The ISSN is used for serials (such as journals, magazines and newspapers). The ISBN represents a single volume such as a novel, a monograph, a specific title within a monographic series or a specific issue of an annual or yearbook. It is strongly recommended that publishers use the ISSN number as part of the title-level DOI they use to offer a persistent and resolvable link to their journal. A DOI is the identifier of an entity—physical, digital or abstract. The ISSN Standard, ISO 3297:2007, provides internationally accepted recommendations to use ISSN as suffix for title-level DOIs: “To construct a DOI suffix using an ISSN, precede the ISSN (including the hyphen) with the lowercase letters “issn” and a period”. It is important for every modern researcher to be published in scientific journals that are officially registered and have ISSN (print) and ISSN (online). Publications that do not have this ID may be considered suspicious and will not be indexed in international databases. It is not unknown for two journals to have the same name, or almost the same name, which is a tactic used by some predatory journals to try and trick researchers into submitting their journal. However, two journals cannot have the same ISSN; each one will be different.
Do all journals have an ISSN?
An ISSN is an 8-digit code used to identify newspapers, journals, magazines and periodicals of all kinds and on all media–print and electronic. ISSN provides a useful and economical method of communication between publishers and suppliers, making trade distribution systems faster and more efficient. The ISSN results in accurate citing of serials and other continuing resources by scholars, researchers, abstracters, and librarians. There is no charge for the assignment of the ISSN, or for the use of an ISSN once assigned. Unlike ISBN and ISSN, which identify content at the book or journal level, a DOI may identify an individual chapter or article. ISSNs help to identify serial publications, which are those that are published regularly in sequence, such as magazines, journals, newspapers, and databases. They don’t identify content or certify its validity. Although ISSNs do not identify the journal owner, if a journal name changes, a new ISSN is necessary.
