If you are not sure about ISBN versus ISSN bar code (example ISBN 978 1932698183 and example ISSN barcode 977 114872007) then you might use this rule of thumb.

You would do well to take a look at the PPA is the Periodical Publishers Association and its retail pages include a downloadable PDF file on bar codes. If you are not printing a bar code or you have been using the UPC system start using the 13 digit EAN / Bar Code number as soon as possible. If you are already using a 13 digit EAN / Bar Code number continue as you are. Do make the best use of your ISBN and register each issue via Nielsen Book Editor . Do not use the same ISBN for more than one issue. Do not use other types of bar code when you are allocationing ISBN's to each issue. If your issues have unique ISBN's please always use the ISBN to create the bar code. If you are using ISBN's continue as you are, making sure you print the ISBN 13 bar code and you allocate a new ISBN to each issue. If the bar code begins 978 or 979 you are probably using a European book/ISBN type bar code. If you are only using the old ISBN 10 you can calculate the ISBN 13 and generate your bar code number. You will need a different ISBN for each issue. Some magazine publishers choose to ignore the ISSN root to an EAN and instead use ISBN's. If you assign a separate ISBN to each issue of your magazine you should use the ISBN 13 to create your bar code see below. If the bar code begins 977 you are probably using a European type magazine/ISSN bar code. With your ISSN you should be able to calculate bar codes see below. If you are using US Bar Codes on your magazine we would like you to put a European type Bar Code on the copies you send to Central Books. If you are not using any Bar Codes on your magazine but you have an ISSN you should be able to calculate bar codes see below. If you do not have an ISSN you will need to get one before you can create bar codes. For magazines this is the first thirteen digits of the European Bar Code number. With more and more retailers using EPOS systems and EDI bar codes are no longer optional. We would prefer that the Bar Code appears on the cover.
