At November 2018 Wikicite Conference held at Berkeley, the ISSN IC Head of Information Systems made a presentation about ISSN and Wikidata.

Fifty percent of “periodical entities” of any kind have ISSNs in Wikidata, including 30,000 with linked article citations. Most entities lacking an ISSN in Wikidata probably have one assigned in the ISSN Register. The ISSN International Centre is ready to help curating ISSN data in Wikidata in order to fill the most important gaps and help with the creation of missing periodical entities.

The presentation slides are online, as well as the video.
