The Bibliographic Code (CODEN) generator produces unique six-character alphanumeric codes to identify specific scientific, technical, and medical journals or publications. CODEN codes are widely used in databases and libraries to reference periodicals and other publications, providing a standardized shorthand for citing or searching for specific journals.
The table provides key details about the generator, including the short name, sample of the generated data, the supported data types, and whether it is specific to a particular country.
Short name | Example of generated data | Data type matching | Country-specific |
---|---|---|---|
CODEN | 52ERQ-U, GOSQV-J, … 52ERQU, GOSQVJ, … |
character character varying text |

The generator can be assigned to a column whose name is ‘CODEN’, regardless of the table name.
The tool allows you to specify a separator between groups of digits. By default, a hyphen is used to separate the digits.
