4. A brief, surely incomplete history
Designed to provide guidance on the presentation
and identification of e-journals, particularly in the
areas of:
• journal title and citation information
• title changes and title history
• accurate use of the ISSN
• enumeration (numbering) practice
• presentation of publication information
• presentation of content (including digitized
content)

5. A brief, surely incomplete history
The PIE-J standard was published in March 2013.
• Standard and its brochures had more than
1,200 downloads in their first 10 days.
• We also continued in-person presentations at
conferences to promote it.
• A standing committee formed in September
2013 to handle inquires and conduct an ongoing
review of the standard – Sarah Glasser and Ed
Cilurso assumed co-chair positions.
