BS ISO 3297:2020 pdf free,Information and documentation – International standard serial number (ISSN).
BS ISO 3297 This document defines and promotes the use of a standard code [ISSN] for the unique identification of serials and other continuing resources.
Each International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) is a unique identifier for a serial or other continuing resource in a defined medium whether print or electronic.This document also allows for grouping related continuing resources into clusters identified by a separately-prefixed ISSN as defined in this document.ISSNs are applicable to serials and to other continuing resources, whatever the business model or modes of distribution (e.g. free, open access, on subscription, etc.) and irrespective of whether the serial is currently in publication, has ceased publication, or publication is planned for the foreseeable future.
Continuing resources include whatever the medium of production (print or electronic):serials, such as newspapers, periodicals, journals, magazines, conference proceedings, monographic series with no predetermined conclusion, annual or other periodic reports, and ongoing integrating resources that are updated, such as loose-leaf publications, updating websites,blogs, institutional repositories, directories and databases.Monographs, sound and video recordings, notated music publications, audiovisual works, textual works and musical works have their own standard identifiers and are not specifically mentioned in this document. Such items can carry an ISSN in addition to their appropriate identifiers when they are part of a continuing resource.
NOTE This document does not contain any operational guidance for its practical implementation.The ISO 3297 Registration Authority shall be responsible for determining the need to identify clusters of continuing resources. This shall be done by assigning a new ISSN and a prefix whose syntax will be ISSN-X where X identifies the type of cluster. Examples of clusters are all earlier, later and current titles of a resource or all language editions of a resource. The ISO 3297 Registration Authority shall publish definitions of cluster types and document the processes by which cluster ISSNs are created and disseminated.
By exception, the cluster identified by the Linking ISSN [ISSN-L) uses an existing ISSN. The Linking ISSN shall be defined according to Annex B. ISSN-L provides collocation or linking among the different medium versions of a continuing resource. The ISSN-L duplicates the ISSN assigned to the first medium
version to have received an ISSN for a continuing resource that is part of the cluster and is distinguished only by the prefix ISSN-L.BS ISO 3297 pdf download.
