What does CODEN mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A short code of letters and numbers assigned to identify a specific journal or other serial publication.
A coden is used by librarians, publishers, and abstracting services as a compact, unambiguous stand-in for a publication's full title, which can vary or be abbreviated inconsistently across different indexes. Each coden is normally six characters long and stays fixed for the life of the publication, even if its name changes. The system lets a citation database match records to the correct journal without confusing similarly named titles.
