ISSN Data and the associated suite of services have become an essential element in the identification of continuing resources worldwide: the ISSN Portal to freely and easily identify more than 2.5 million serials; ROAD to access Open Access scholarly resources curated by the ISSN Network; Keepers Registry to check which digital resources are archived by our 14 contributing agencies’; and Transfer Alerting Service to track journal transfer information. Since 1975, the ISSN has been the unique and persistent identifier for journals and other continuing publications. On a daily basis, it serves librarians, editors, publishers, content providers, database managers, scholars, students. Look at the quotations from some of our customers, and read how the latest version of ISO 3297 standard published in 2020 takes into account the requirements of the library and the publishing communities.
