Information and documentation -- Presentation and identification of periodicals

This document establishes the minimum characteristics required for the presentation and identification of periodicals including not only the obvious traditional elements that print periodicals typically display (e.g. title, ISSN, publisher, date), but also the “footprints” of periodicals published on digital dynamic media that enable them to be traced along the path of their history, such as changes of URL and publisher or content provider. Furthermore, this document provides information about persistent identifiers, using ISSN, and citation of periodicals (especially when published online or digitized and when titles have changed). It also makes specific recommendations for presentation and identification aspects of retrospective digitization of periodicals.
This document is applicable to a subcategory of continuing resources identifiable as “periodicals” (see Clause 3).
NOTE 1 For the purposes of this document, newspapers are not considered to be periodicals; therefore, specialized information relevant only to newspapers is not included.
This document does not specifically address or apply to books, including series of books, nor to content that is continuously updated such as loose-leaf services, databases, online reference works, and most websites.
NOTE 2 For information about series titles, see ISO 7275.
This document focuses only on elements of periodicals — printed, born-digital or retrospectively digitized — that relate to the presentation of title and supporting descriptive information, as well as
practices related to title identification and content access over time. Therefore, this document is not
concerned with the overall design of the periodical, except where that design affects the presentation
of the title and has unintended consequences for resource discovery and access to earlier content.
Neither is it concerned with the technical specifications for print, born-digital or digitized periodicals.
The recommendations might not apply in all circumstances, and do not always accommodate certain artistic, technical or advertising considerations.
This document contains recommendations intended to enable editors and publishers of periodicals
to identify and present key information in a form that will help users discover, cite and access their
information over time and through any changes. This benefits all stakeholders of the periodical supply chain: publishers, content providers, authors, librarians, and researchers.
The recommendations address the following:
— display of periodical title(s) and other critical identifying information: issues, numbering systems,
pagination, etc.;
— retention of title and citation information under which articles were originally published;
— display of title histories, i.e. changes in titles over time together with their dates of coverage;
— specification of appropriate metadata for digital periodicals;
NOTE 3 This document concentrates on metadata elements which are applicable at the title-level and does not provide guidelines for complete article-level metadata.
— display of correct ISSN, including different ISSN for each format, language edition, and for
changed titles;
— retention and display of vital publication information across the duration of a periodical, including:
publisher names, numbering and dates, editors, editorial boards, and sponsoring organizations, and frequency of publication;
— graphic design that supports clarity and consistency of information, particularly title information and inclusion of information that allows easy access to all content;
— special considerations for retrospective digitization;
— usage of persistent identifiers for identification of periodical titles and articles;
— long-term preservation of periodical information across time.

Informatika in dokumentacija - Oblikovanje periodičnih publikacij

Ta dokument določa minimalne značilnosti, ki so potrebne za oblikovanje periodičnih publikacij, kar vključuje ne samo očitne tradicionalne elemente, ki jih običajno imajo tiskane periodične publikacije (npr. naslov, ISSN, založnik, datum), temveč tudi »odtise« periodičnih publikacij, objavljene v digitalnih dinamičnih medijih, tako da je mogoče slediti njihovi zgodovini, kot so spremembe URL-ja in založnika ali ponudnika vsebine. Poleg tega ta dokument vsebuje informacije o trajnih identifikatorjih, uporabi kode ISSN in citiranju periodičnih publikacij (zlasti kadar so objavljene v spletu ali digitalizirane in so bili naslovi spremenjeni). Prav tako podaja posebna priporočila za oblikovanje vidikov retrospektivne digitalizacije periodičnih publikacij.
Dokument se uporablja za podkategorijo stalnih virov, ki jih je mogoče opredeliti kot »periodične publikacije« (glej točko 3).
OPOMBA 1: Za namene tega dokumenta se časopisi ne obravnavajo kot periodične publikacije; zato v dokument niso vključene specializirane informacije, pomembne samo za časopise.
Ta dokument ne obravnava posebej knjig niti se ne navezuje nanje, vključno s serijami knjig, niti na vsebino, ki se stalno posodablja, kot so vsebine na posamičnih listih, zbirke podatkov, spletna referenčna dela in večina spletnih mest.
OPOMBA 2: Za več informacij o naslovih serijskih publikacij glej ISO 7275.
Ta dokument se osredotoča le na elemente tiskane, izvorno digitalne ali retrospektivno digitalizirane periodike, ki se navezujejo na predstavitev naslova in podpornih opisnih informacij, pa tudi
prakse, povezane z identifikacijo naslovov in dostopom do vsebine skozi čas. Zato se ta dokument ne ukvarja
s celotno zasnovo periodike, razen kadar ta zasnova vpliva na predstavitev
naslova ter nenamerno vpliva na iskanje virov in dostop do starejših vsebin.
Prav tako ne obravnava tehničnih specifikacij za tiskane, izvorno digitalne ali digitalizirane periodične publikacije.
Priporočila morda ne veljajo v vseh okoliščinah in ne vključujejo vedno določenih umetniških, tehničnih ali reklamnih vidikov publikacij.
Ta dokument vsebuje priporočila, namenjena urednikom in založnikom periodičnih publikacij,
za oblikovanje ključnih podatkov v obliki, ki bo uporabnikom pomagala najti, citirati in dostopati
do njihovih informacij skozi čas in ob morebitnih spremembah. Upoštevanje priporočil koristi vsem deležnikom v dobavni verigi periodike: založnikom, ponudnikom vsebin, avtorjem, knjižničarjem in raziskovalcem.
Priporočila obravnavajo:
– prikaz naslovov in drugih pomembnih identifikacijskih podatkov periodike: izdaje, sistemi številčenja,
oštevilčenje strani itd.;
– hrambo naslova in citatne informacije, pod katerimi so bili članki prvotno objavljeni;
– prikaz zgodovine naslovov, tj. spremembe naslovov skozi čas skupaj z datumi poročanja;
– specifikacijo ustreznih metapodatkov za digitalno periodiko;
OPOMBA 3: Ta dokument se osredotoča na elemente metapodatkov, ki se uporabljajo na ravni naslova in ne podajajo smernic za popolne metapodatke na ravni članka.
– prikaz pravilne kode ISSN, vključno z različnimi kodami ISSN za vsak format, jezikovno izdajo in za
spremenjene naslove;
– hrambo in prikaz pomembnih informacij o publikaciji v času njenega trajanja, vključno z:
imeni založnikov, številčenjem in datumi, uredniki, uredništvi in sponzorskimi organizacijami ter pogostostjo objavljanja;
– grafično oblikovanje, ki podpira jasnost in doslednost informacij, zlasti naslovov in vključitve informacij, ki omogočajo enostaven dostop do vseh vsebin;
– posebnosti glede retrospektivne digitalizacije;
– uporabo trajnih označb za označevanje naslovov in člankov periodike;
– dolgoročno ohranjanje podatkov o periodiki skozi čas.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

ISO 8:2019(E)

Introduction
Periodicals, whatever their medium, play a critical role in the information society, and more specifically
in the global information infrastructure. Citations to articles in scholarly journals, whether in print or
in electronic journals, form the basis for much scholarly research. Popular trade magazines as well as
newsletters are used by authors, researchers, and students of all ages. Search, discovery, and use of the
wide range of today’s periodicals require that they provide reliable identification and display of key
information by following standardized principles and procedures.
When ISO/R 8-1954, the predecessor to ISO 8, was published, there was no digital publishing, nor were
there identification standards such as ISSN or ISBN. The evolution of the publishing market in recent
decades, the use of media other than paper, and the evolution of identification standards have made it
necessary to revise ISO 8 to include recommendations applicable to all possible media.
This document is based in part on the first edition of ISO 8 for its recommendations pertaining to print
[1]
periodicals, and on NISO RP-16-2013 , for its recommendations concerning digital periodicals.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

Introduction
Periodicals, whatever their medium, play a critical role in the information society, and more specifically
in the global information infrastructure. Citations to articles in scholarly journals, whether in print or
in electronic journals, form the basis for much scholarly research. Popular trade magazines as well as
newsletters are used by authors, researchers, and students of all ages. Search, discovery, and use of the
wide range of today’s periodicals require that they provide reliable identification and display of key
information by following standardized principles and procedures.
When ISO/R 8-1954, the predecessor to ISO 8, was published, there was no digital publishing, nor were
there identification standards such as ISSN or ISBN. The evolution of the publishing market in recent
decades, the use of media other than paper, and the evolution of identification standards have made it
necessary to revise ISO 8 to include recommendations applicable to all possible media.
This document is based in part on the first edition of ISO 8 for its recommendations pertaining to print
[1]
periodicals, and on NISO RP-16-2013 , for its recommendations concerning digital periodicals.

Information and documentation — Presentation and
identification of periodicals
1 Scope
This document establishes the minimum characteristics required for the presentation and identification
of periodicals including not only the obvious traditional elements that print periodicals typically
display (e.g. title, ISSN, publisher, date), but also the “footprints” of periodicals published on digital
dynamic media that enable them to be traced along the path of their history, such as changes of URL
and publisher or content provider. Furthermore, this document provides information about persistent
identifiers, using ISSN, and citation of periodicals (especially when published online or digitized and
when titles have changed). It also makes specific recommendations for presentation and identification
aspects of retrospective digitization of periodicals.
This document is applicable to a subcategory of continuing resources identifiable as “periodicals” (see
Clause 3).
NOTE 1 For the purposes of this document, newspapers are not considered to be periodicals; therefore,
specialized information relevant only to newspapers is not included.
This document does not specifically address or apply to books, including series of books, nor to content
that is continuously updated such as loose-leaf services, databases, online reference works, and most
websites.
NOTE 2 For information about series titles, see ISO 7275.
This document focuses only on elements of periodicals — printed, born-digital or retrospectively
digitized — that relate to the presentation of title and supporting descriptive information, as well as
practices related to title identification and content access over time. Therefore, this document is not
concerned with the overall design of the periodical, except where that design affects the presentation
of the title and has unintended consequences for resource discovery and access to earlier content.
Neither is it concerned with the technical specifications for print, born-digital or digitized periodicals.
The recommendations might not apply in all circumstances, and do not always accommodate certain
artistic, technical or advertising considerations.
This document contains recommendations intended to enable editors and publishers of periodicals
to identify and present key information in a form that will help users discover, cite and access their
information over time and through any changes. This benefits all stakeholders of the periodical supply
chain: publishers, content providers, authors, librarians, and researchers.
The recommendations address the following:
— display of periodical title(s) and other critical identifying information: issues, numbering systems,
pagination, etc.;
— retention of title and citation information under which articles were originally published;
— display of title histories, i.e. changes in titles over time together with their dates of coverage;
— specification of appropriate metadata for digital periodicals;
NOTE 3 This document concentrates on metadata elements which are applicable at the title-level and
does not provide guidelines for complete article-level metadata.
— display of correct ISSN, including different ISSN for each format, language edition, and for
changed titles;
© ISO 2019 – All rights reserved 1

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
SIST ISO 8:2019
ISO 8:2019(E)

— retention and display of vital publication information across the duration of a periodical, including:
publisher names, numbering and dates, editors, editorial boards, and sponsoring organizations, and
frequency of publication;
— graphic design that supports clarity and consistency of information, particularly title information
and inclusion of information that allows easy access to all content;
— special considerations for retrospective digitization;
— usage of persistent identifiers for identification of periodical titles and articles;
— long-term preservation of periodical information across time.

Avant-propos
L’ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d’organismes
nationaux de normalisation (comités membres de l’ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est
en général confiée aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude
a le droit de faire partie du comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales,
gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec l’ISO, participent également aux travaux.
L’ISO collabore étroitement avec la Commission électrotechnique internationale (IEC) en ce qui
concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les procédures utilisées pour élaborer le présent document et celles destinées à sa mise à jour sont
décrites dans les Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 1. Il convient en particulier de prendre note des différents
critères d’approbation requis pour les différents types de documents ISO. Le présent document a été
rédigé conformément aux règles de rédaction données dans les Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 2 (voir www

Introduction
Quel que soit leur support, les périodiques jouent un rôle primordial dans la société de l’information,
et en particulier dans l’infrastructure globale de l’information. Les citations des articles dans les
revues académiques, imprimées ou électroniques, constituent la base d’un grand nombre de recherches
académiques. Les magazines spécialisés de grande diffusion ainsi que les lettres d'actualité sont utilisés
par les auteurs, les chercheurs et les étudiants de tous âges. De nombreux périodiques actuels sont
utilisés dans la recherche et pour la découverte de ressources. Il convient par conséquent d’identifier
et de présenter correctement les informations essentielles qu’ils contiennent conformément à des
principes et procédures normalisés.
Lorsque l’ISO/R 8-1954, qui a précédé l’ISO 8, a été publiée, ni les publications numériques ni les normes
d’identification tels que l'ISSN ou l'ISBN n’existaient. L’évolution du marché de la publication aux
cours des dernières décennies, l’utilisation de supports autres que le papier et l’évolution des normes
d’identification ont rendu nécessaire la révision de l’ISO 8 et l'inclusion de recommandations applicables
à tous les supports possibles.
Le présent document est en partie fondé sur la première édition de l’ISO 8 pour ses recommandations en
[1]
matière de périodiques imprimés, ainsi que sur le guide NISO RP-16-2013 , pour ses recommandations
relatives aux périodiques numériques.

NORME INTERNATIONALE ISO 8:2019(F)
Information et documentation — Présentation et
identification des périodiques
1 Domaine d’application
Le présent document a pour objet d’établir les caractéristiques minimales requises en matière de
présentation et d’identification des périodiques comprenant non seulement les éléments habituels
évidents, généralement présents dans les périodiques imprimés (par exemple titre, ISSN, éditeur,
date), mais également les éléments de traçabilité portés par les périodiques publiés sur un support
dynamique numérique qui permettent de reconstituer leur parcours au fil du temps, tels que les
changements d’URL et d’éditeur ou de fournisseur de contenu. Par ailleurs, le présent document fournit
des informations sur les identifiants pérennes, utilisant l'ISSN, et sur les citations des périodiques (en
particulier lorsqu’ils ont été publiés en ligne ou numérisés et lorsque les titres ont été modifiés). Il
émet également des recommandations spécifiques en matière de présentation et d’identification des
périodiques rétronumérisés.
Le présent document s’applique à une sous-catégorie de ressources continues identifiables en tant que
«périodiques» (voir Article 3).
NOTE 1 Pour les besoins du présent document, les journaux ne sont pas considérés comme des périodiques;
par conséquent, les informations concernant uniquement les journaux ne sont pas incluses.
Le présent document ne s’adresse ou ne s’applique pas spécifiquement aux livres, y compris aux séries
de livres, ni aux contenus mis à jour en continu tels que les publications à feuillets mobiles, les bases de
données, les ouvrages de référence en ligne et la plupart des sites web.
NOTE 2 Voir l’ISO 7275 pour des informations sur les titres des collections.
Le présent document se concentre uniquement sur les éléments des périodiques (imprimés, nativement
numériques ou rétronumérisés) relatifs à la présentation du titre et à d’autres informations descriptives,
ainsi qu’aux pratiques associées à l’identification du titre et à l’accès au contenu au cours du temps. Le
présent document ne concerne donc pas la conception générale du périodique excepté lorsque ladite
conception a une incidence sur la présentation du titre et des conséquences imprévues sur la découverte
des ressources et sur l’accès aux contenus déjà publiés. Il ne concerne pas non plus les spécifications
techniques relatives aux périodiques imprimés, nativement numériques ou rétronumérisés. Les
recommandations fournies peuvent ne pas s’appliquer à toutes les situations et ne sont pas toujours
adaptées à certaines préoccupations d'ordre artistique, technique ou publicitaire.
Le présent document contient des recommandations dont l’objectif est de permettre aux rédacteurs
en chef et aux éditeurs de périodiques d’identifier et de présenter des informations essentielles
dans un format qui aidera les utilisateurs à découvrir, à citer et à accéder, au fil du temps et au gré
des modifications qu’elles subissent, aux informations données. Il constitue par conséquent une aide
précieuse pour toutes les parties prenantes de la chaîne d'approvisionnement du périodique: éditeurs,
fournisseurs de contenu, auteurs, bibliothécaires et chercheurs.
Les recommandations traitent des aspects suivants:
— affichage des titres des périodiques et autres informations d’identification critiques: livraisons,
systèmes de numérotation, pagination, etc.;
— conservation des informations relatives au titre et aux citations sous lesquels les articles ont été
publiés à l’origine;
— affichage de l’historique des titres, c’est-à-dire des modifications subies par les titres au cours du
temps avec leurs dates de couverture respectives;
© ISO 2019 – Tous droits réservés 1

---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
ISO 8:2019(F)

— spécification des métadonnées appropriées aux périodiques numériques;
NOTE 3 Le présent document se concentre sur les éléments de métadonnées applicables au niveau du
titre et ne fournit pas de directives concernant les métadonnées exhaustives au niveau de l'article.
— affichage de l'ISSN correct, y compris celui correspondant à chaque format, à chaque édition
linguistique et aux titres modifiés;
— conservation et affichage des informations primordiales relatives à la publication depuis la naissance
du périodique, en particulier: le nom des éditeurs, la numérotation et les dates, les rédacteurs en
chef, les comités de rédaction et les collectivités éditrices ainsi que la fréquence de publication;
— conception graphique garantissant la clarté et la cohérence des informations, en particulier les
informations sur les titres et l'inclusion d'informations facilitant l’accès à tous les contenus;
— aspects spécifiques à la rétronumérisation;
— utilisation d'identifiants pérennes pour l'identification des titres et des articles du périodique;
— conservation à long terme des informations du périodique au cours du temps.
