✔️ Build your credibility and trust with authors, contributors, and readers.
✔️ Help you meet indexing requirements for Scopus, UGC CARE, and other reputable listings.

🔍 What is an ISSN?
An ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) is an 8-digit unique identifier assigned to serial publications such as academic journals, magazines, newsletters, or conference proceedings published on an ongoing basis. It distinguishes your journal from others and makes it easier for libraries, researchers, and indexing services to track and cite your content.
🔍 What is an ISBN?
An ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is a 13-digit code used to identify books, monographs, conference proceedings published as books, and edited volumes. It’s critical for cataloging, distribution, sales, and ensuring your book appears in library systems and online marketplaces.

ISBNs are highly recommended for selling, distributing, or listing your book in libraries, bookstores, and online marketplaces like Amazon or Flipkart.
4. What if I have both print and online versions?
You’ll need separate ISSNs for print and electronic versions of the same journal.
