Register official International Standard Serial Numbers (e-ISSN and p-ISSN) with the ISSN International Centre for journals, serials, and proceedings.
An International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) is an 8-digit code defined by ISO 3297 that uniquely identifies recurring serial publications—most crucially, academic journals, research bulletins, and conference proceedings series. It is a mandatory requirement for Crossref DOI membership, DOAJ indexing, Scopus evaluation, and inclusion in university library catalogs worldwide.
Obtaining an ISSN requires strict adherence to international editorial norms: publishing inaugural issues with substantive research articles, demonstrating a distinguished editorial board with verifiable academic affiliations, and displaying transparent peer-review and open-access policies. At IJRDO, we audit your journal, assemble the complete submission dossier, and secure your official ISSN registration.
New academic journals, open-access periodicals, and multidisciplinary university research publications.
Regular annual or biennial conference proceedings series with established volume history.
Institutional technical report series, faculty discussion papers, and institutional research annals.
Subject-specific scientific society periodicals, association bulletins, and scholarly newsletters.
Comprehensive review of your journal’s website, editorial board credentials, and publishing policies.
Preparation and formatting of the mandatory inaugural issue with required article metadata.
Direct filing with the ISSN Centre, query resolution, and delivery of official ISSN certificate.
For print publications, a pre-publication ISSN can sometimes be requested. However, for online journals (e-ISSN), the ISSN International Centre strictly requires that at least one full issue containing a minimum number of research papers be already published and publicly accessible on the journal website.
An ISBN identifies a single monographic book, edition, or standalone volume. An ISSN identifies a continuous series or periodical (like a journal, magazine, or annual proceeding) published under a persistent title with ongoing issues.
