The ISSN is an acronym for International Standard Serial Number, an eight digit serial number issued by International Organization for Standardization, to uniquely identify publications. This format helps in identification of serial publications, print and online resources. The ISSN helps in recognizing and archiving the titles electronically, sorting, subscription, organization and distribution of the titles. ISSN has helped in bringing down the cost of communication between the suppliers and publishers, besides making the publications distribution system speedy and proficient.
