ERIH PLUS

09/02/2026

Erih+ and the ISSN International Centre has joined forces!
- When you submit a journal for possible inclusion to erih+, the system will automatically look up the journal-ISSN number using the API of the International ISSN register.
- If the journal is registered, and has the correct status in the ISSN system, the submission form in erih+ will fill itself out "automagically" with the information found in the ISSN portal.
- If any problems arise the form can be filled out manually.
We hope this will make it easier for you to submit your journal to erih+.

You find your way to the submission form at the erih+ webpage 👇
