ISSN Portal unavailable for 4 hours on December 3rd

Dear ISSN users,

 

The “Keepers Registry”, a JISC-funded service for the UK Higher Education sector from 2016 to 2019 and maintained by EDINA at the University of Edinburgh (https://thekeepers.org),  will be discontinued as from the end of this week.

 

The ISSN International Centre, in cooperation with the various contributing Keepers agencies, decided to maintain this service by integrating the Keepers Data into the ISSN Portal (https://portal.issn.org).

 

This new service will require a technical operation on December 3rd and the ISSN Portal will be unavailable for 4 hours from 9am to 1pm CET due to this data import.

 

Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience.
