Hi Crossref Team,

Kindly check ISSN number **3122-7163** currently under Journal of Al-Falah [Journal of Al-Falah](https://ejournal.um.edu.my/index.php/AL-FALAH/index), but in Crossref it under Journal of Da’wah & Human Development.

How to fix this issue. Please help.

TQ

Hi @malay, thanks for asking about this. When a journal is first registered with Crossref, it creates a title record in our system. This title record includes the title and ISSN(s). Any subsequent articles deposited in this journal are checked against this title record and must match the title as originally submitted exactly, and at least one of the ISSNs. If the match is not exact, the deposit will fail.

It appears that the journal associated with eISSN 3122-7163 was originally submitted via its subtitle, _Journal of Da wah & Human Development_. This is the title of this journal, according to our system, so deposits with another title such as _Journal of Al-Falah_ will fail.

If the journal’s title should be something other than _Journal of Da wah & Human Development_, please [send a direct message to our Technical Support team](https://support.crossref.org/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360001642691) from one of the trusted email addresses on your membership and they will be able to assist you in updating it.

If we can help with anything else please let me know!
