TIB joins as Keeper with ISSN International Centre
The TIB – Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology and University Library has become the 18th institution worldwide and the second in Germany to cooperate with the ISSN International Centre. In future, all e-journals held by the TIB will be listed in the Keepers Registry.
The TIB’s digital holdings of e-journals currently include approximately 2,500 journal titles, including Wiley e-journals under the DEAL-Wiley agreement and Ukrainian Open Access journals, which are harvested by the TIB.
Journals can be searched on this platform by their ISSN, their unique persistent identifier. This identifier enables libraries, repositories and archives to find out whether a particular issue of a journal has already been archived and who the ”keeper” of the journal is. In addition to the TIB, the ”keepers” are the e-journal archiving services Portico, CLOCKSS and global LOCKSS, as well as institutions such as the Library of Congress, the National Library of France, the National Library of the Netherlands, the National Digital Preservation Program China and the ZBW – Leibniz Information Centre for Economics.
The TIB has been using the Keepers Registry for many years to compare the archival status of different e-journals and to make informed decisions about which journals in the TIB collection should be prioritised for digital preservation.
IBICT has launched 2 services
Two information services have been launched by the Brazilian Institute of Information in Science and Technology (Ibict). These services are aimed at Brazilian scientific journals and publishers.
Manuelzão is the Brazilian Portal for scientific journals. The aim is to aggregate information pertinent to the creation, management, dissemination and improvement of the quality of Brazilian electronic scientific journals.
Miguilim (Directory of electronic scientific journals) aggregates information about Brazilian electronic scientific journals. It aims to confirm the situation of journals, in order to increase their editorial quality and internationalization, as well as assist in the democratization of access to scientific knowledge.
Season’s greetings!

Chantier d’attribution d’ISSN par le Centre ISSN France / ISSN assignment by ISSN France
Parallèlement au chantier d’attribution d’ISSN mené par l’Agence bibliographique de l’enseignement supérieur (Abes) et concernant les titres étrangers, le Centre ISSN France traite les titres électroniques français en libre accès (possédant un ISSN imprimé mais pas d’ISSN électronique) ainsi que les titres français sans ISSN.
L’objectif de l’Abes et du Centre ISSN France reste commun : améliorer le référencement des titres de Mir@bel.
En 18 mois, le Centre ISSN France a permis à lui seul l’ajout de 705 ISSN.
Pour mémoire vous pouvez consulter la captation vidéo de la présentation Centre ISSN France, retour d’expérience d’un partenaire particulier – (BnF).
While the French Bibliographic Agency for Higher Education (Abes) is assigning ISSNs for foreign titles, the ISSN Centre France is processing French open access electronic titles (with a printed ISSN but no electronic ISSN) and French titles without an ISSN.
The aim of Abes and ISSN France remains the same: to improve the referencing of Mir@bel titles.
In 18 months, the Centre ISSN France alone has added 705 ISSNs.
For the record, you can watch the video of the presentation Centre ISSN France, feedback from a special partner – (BnF).
