The ISSN (International Standard
Serial Number) serves the short
unmistakable identification of
sequentially
appearing publications, e.g.,
magazines. The ISSN is nearly
similar to the ISBN for books.
The ISSN exists of 8 digits,
which are split by a hyphen in
two groups of 4 digits. The
hyphen itself has no meaning for
the code. It only serves as an
optical difference to other
codes. The first 7 digits
display the real ISSN number.
The 8th digit is the check
number which is computed
according to Modulo 11.
ISSN is a special form of the
EAN-13 code, it is created using
the EAN-13 symbology with a
special prefix. |
Valid characters:
1234567890X. |
ISSN barcode have the prefix of
"977". |
An ISSN barcode is composed of 5
different sections:.
"ISSN" must precede the number.
The numbers 977 should follow
"ISSN".
The first 7 digits of the ISSN
(the 8th digit is an ISSN check
digit and is discarded when
encoding with EAN13).
2-digit price code, usually 00.
EAN13 check digit. |
|
ISSN is one of the many
barcode formats currently in
use. |
A Barcode is a method of
representing data in a visual,
machine-readable form. |
The barcode formats has two
categories: |
One-dimensional (1D) ---
Barcodes represented data by
varying the widths and spacings
of parallel lines. |
Two-dimensional (2D) --- Using
rectangles, dots, hexagons and
other geometric patterns to
represented data. |
ISSN is 1D barcode.
To encode the data
"977345678912" for the ISSN
barcode, simply key in
"977345678912" in the Barcode
Generator.
ISSN barcode has 13
digits.
The prefix is "977". |

Check digit:
Encoding an ISSN number into an
EAN13 barcode varies in
complexity based on how the
information is being encoded. To
encode the ISSN manually, begin
the data to be encoded with 977
followed by the first 7 digits
of the ISSN, then the 2-digit
price code which is usually 00.
For example, an ISSN 2496-5524,
the data to be encoded should be
977249655200. After this, the
EAN13 check digit must be added
to the end of the string. To
calculate the EAN13 mod10 check
digit manually, follow these
simple instructions:
Starting with the first number
on the right, take the sum of
all odd numbers (977249655200)
and multiply by 3 to get 75.
Starting with the second number
on the right, take the sum of
all even numbers (977249655200)
to get 31.
Add the results from steps 1 & 2
to get 106.
The difference between the step
3 result and the next highest
multiple of 10 is the EAN13
check digit. In this case, the
next highest multiple of 10 is
110 and the difference between
110 and 106 is 4. |
Human Readable:
Most barcodes display their
corresponding values below them,
which makes it possible to human
read and manually enter
the barcode values into the
equivalent system when the
barcode label is worn out and
cannot be read by the barcode
scanner. |
The Advantages of using
barcodes:
The barcode system provide
better data. Because a barcode
can store various information
such as inventory and pricing,
especially when using QR Code,
it can store thousands of
characters, so the data stored
in the barcode can be quickly
obtained by the barcode reader,
this fast turnaround ensures
that time is not wasted on data
entry or retrieval. In addition,
the barcode can be customized to
include other relevant
information as needed. They
provide fast and reliable data
for various applications.
When barcodes are used in
management information systems,
they can promote better
decision-making. Because data is
obtained quickly and accurately,
you can quickly obtain a full
range of information for the
entire company or organization,
so it is possible to make more
informed decisions. Better
decisions can ultimately save
time and money.
Barcodes are cheap and
user-friendly, providing an
indispensable tool for tracking
data from pricing to inventory.
The end result of a
comprehensive bar code system is
reduced overhead. |

FAQ About ISSN Barcode |
|
What is the
historical origin of the ISSN barcode? |
ISSN
(International Standard Serial Number) is a unified number
assigned by the ISSN International Center in Paris, France.
It consists of a set
of 8-digit numbers preceded by the "ISSN" code. It is designed
to identify various newspapers, professional magazines,
pictorials, and periodicals. , regardless of its nature or
medium (paper or electronic version).
ISSN (International
Standard Serial Number) is an international standard number for
serial publications based on the international standard ISO3297.
Its purpose is to ensure that every serial publication with
different titles and versions in the world has a complete The
world's unique code identifier. The International Organization
for Standardization (ISO) designates the ISSN International
Center as the management agency for ISSN number recording.
The barcode of a
journal consists of a main code (EAN 13-digit code) and a
2-digit additional code. The additional code is used to identify
the issue and publication time of the journal. . For example,
the additional codes for each issue of a monthly magazine are
01, 02,...12. Therefore, depending on how many issues a journal
publishes each year, how many barcodes should be applied for.
The ISSN barcode can
be said to be equivalent to the ID card of journals and
magazines, that is, one ISSN number only corresponds to one
journal title. If the journal title changes, you need to apply
for another journal title. If the journal is discontinued, the
ISSN number will not be used by other journals. |

What industries are
ISSN barcodes mainly used in? |
ISSN barcodes are
mainly used in the publication industry for labeling journals
and digital media. |
|
Structure of ISSN
barcode? |
The coding system
used by the ISSN code is the EAN-13 barcode.
The corresponding
relationship between the ISSN and the EAN code is: 977+the first
7 digits of the ISSN number+2 special digits (sequential change
digits)+EAN check digit.
The first 7 digits
of the ISSN number are a simple sequence of numeric characters,
and the last digit is a check digit. Its value is calculated
using a specific algorithm using the first 7 digits.
The encoding rules
of ISSN are formulated according to the international standard
ISO 3297. The ISSN number consists of the prefix ISSN and 8
digits, separated by a half-word line "-" in the middle, and the
last digit is a check digit. ISSN numbers can be used with EAN
13 barcodes or Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs).
The 2-digit
additional code of the journal is EAN-2 barcode.
The value rules for
additional codes are as follows:
If the journal is
published monthly, the additional code is the ordinal number of
the month, such as 01 for January and 12 for December.
If the journal is
published quarterly, the additional code is the ordinal number
of the last month of the quarter, such as 03 for the first
quarter and 12 for the fourth quarter.
If the journal is
published annually, the additional code is 00.
If the journal is
published in other cycles, the additional code is the serial
number of the issue, such as 01 for the first issue and 99 for
the ninety-ninth issue. |
|
What is the
difference between ISBN number and ISSN number? |
ISSN is used for
journals, and ISBN is used for books.
They are the main
signs to identify publications and are also the identifiers of
publications.
ISBN, short for
International Standard Book Number, is an international number
specially designed to identify books and other documents. ISSN,
the abbreviation of International Standard Serial Number
(International Standard Serial Number), is an internationally
accepted serial publication identification code.
ISBN bar code:
It is an
internationally unified numbering system developed for the needs
of book publishing and management, and to facilitate the
exchange and statistics of international publications. It is
represented by a set of ten-digit numbers with the "ISBN" code
(978). It is used to identify the country, region or language,
publishing institution, book title, edition and binding method
of the publication. This group of numbers can also be said to be
the representative number of the book.
The book code in the
EAN code is 978. That is, as long as the country code part of
the EAN is changed to 978, and then the check code is
recalculated, it will be an ISBN barcode, which is the same.
Simply put, the corresponding relationship between ISBN and EAN
is: 978 + first 9 digits of ISBN + EAN check code.
ISSN barcode:
When making a
barcode, change the "978" part of the ISBN code to "977" to get
the ISSN code. The
corresponding relationship between ISSN and EAN is: 977 + first
7 digits of ISSN + 00 + EAN check code. |
|
How to apply for
an ISSN number?
|
The method of
applying for an ISSN number depends on your country.
If there is an ISSN
National Center in your country, you will need to contact that
center. If there is no ISSN National Center in your country, you
can apply for an ISSN number from the ISSN International Center.
The application process includes online registration, payment of
registration fees, submission of ISSN application form and other
steps.
The application fee
for an ISSN number varies depending on the country where the
publisher is located, but is generally between 25 and 50 euros. |
|
What is the
difference between ISSN barcode and EAN-13 barcode?
|
The ISSN barcode
is an international standard number used to identify serial
publications (such as journals, magazines, etc.), while the
EAN-13 barcode is a European Article Number used to identify
goods.
The ISSN barcode is
a special EAN-13 barcode that is prefixed with 977, followed by
the first 7 digits of the ISSN number, plus two additional
digits (usually 00), and finally the EAN checksum. For example,
the ISSN barcode for ISSN 1000-001X is 9771000001008.
The prefix of the
EAN-13 barcode is the country code, which indicates the country
or region where the product was produced. For example, the
country code for China is 690-695, and the country code for the
United States and Canada is 00-09.
The encoding method
and image generation method of ISSN barcode and EAN-13 barcode
are the same, and both use left odd and right even encoding
rules. |
