In 2020, the National Information Standards Organization (NISO) welcomed 14 new endorsing publishers as the most recent adopters of its Transfer Code of Practice (https://www.niso.org/publications/rp-24-2019-transfer): Bioscientifica, Cornell UniversityILibrary Publishing, Department of Agribusiness, Faculty of Agriculture, Halu Oleo University, Frontiers Media, Helsinki University Press, Human Resource Management Academic Society, Indonesia Journal Publisher, International TESOL Union, Longdom Publishing, Mary Ann Liebert, NCSL International, PerkinElmer, Turkish Association for Psychopharmacology, Yandy Scientific Press.

The Transfer Code of Practice provides guidelines to help publishers ensure that journal content remains easily accessible by librarians and readers when there is a transfer between parties. Publishers who endorse the Code can register for free with the ISSN Portal; when they acquire a title, they may record the transfer through this portal. Information about transfers is shared with the library and publishing communities via the Transfer Alerting Service .
