ASTM E250-98(2009)

Standard Practice for Use of CODEN (Withdrawn 2014)

ABSTRACT
This practice defines the proper ways of obtaining, and using or applying CODEN. The rules for establishing or selecting the publication title to which a CODEN is assigned, and the rules for establishing CODEN, are not contained here.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice defines CODEN, how to obtain them, and how they can be used or applied.
1.2 The rules for establishing or selecting the publication title to which a CODEN is assigned, as well as the rules for establishing CODEN are not a part of this practice.
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
This practice defines CODEN, how to obtain them, and how they can be used or applied.
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee E13 on Molecular Spectroscopy and Separation Science, this practice was withdrawn in May 2014. This standard was withdrawn without replacement due to its limited use by industry.

Use of CODEN
This standard is issued under the fixed designation E250; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
INTRODUCTION
CODEN are unique, unambiguous identifiers for titles of serial and nonserial publications in all
subject areas. CODEN are assigned only by the International CODEN Service. Identifiers resembling
CODEN assigned by other than this central agency are not valid CODEN. The word “CODEN” is
coined, not an acronym. It should be spelled out entirely in uppercase letters wherever used.The word
is both singular and plural.
The use of an identifier such as CODEN was proposed by Charles Bishop, Ph.D. (American
Documentation, Vol 4, 1953, p. 54) who also privately published a list of nearly 3000 codes in 1954.
Under his direction, both the size of the list and use of the system grew until in 1961, at Dr. Bishop’s
suggestion, custody and responsibility for maintaining a list of some 4000 codes were first assumed
byASTM Committee E13 on Molecular Spectroscopy. During this period, CODEN were assigned by
Dr. L.E. Kuentzel ofWyandotte Chemicals Corp.The list was expanded to 25 000 codes and titles and
published as ASTM DS 23. In addition, a mechanism was established for supplying codes for new
periodicals or previously uncoded titles and to issue these as annual supplements. In 1966, the
CODEN publication DS 23 A was issued with 39 000 entries. In April 1967, the project was moved
to the Franklin Institute Research Laboratories, Philadelphia, Pa. In August 1968, supplement DS 23
A-S1 with 25 000 entries, and in May 1969, supplement DS 23 A-S2 with 22 500 additional entries
were published. In 1970, a new cumulation of the CODEN data base was published byASTM as DS
23 B (109 507 CODEN). Supplements were published in 1972 (DS 23 B-S1 with 10 033 CODEN) and
1974 (DS 23 B-S2 with 7736 CODEN). Effective January 1975, responsibility for the assignment of
CODEN was transferred to the Chemical Abstracts Service, Columbus, Ohio, and designated the
International CODEN Service.
