Hi Ken,

Actually, I'm not sure this will answer all of your needs - although it
does cover peer-review:

Metadata fields for an ISSN

A number of metadata fields can be associated with an ISSN number:

   - form: Each ISSN has a production form, indicated by an ONIX production
   form code <http://www.editeur.org/onixserials.html>. Current supported
   values include: JB ( Printed serial ), JC ( Serial distributed
   electronically by carrier ) ,JD ( Electronic serial distributed online ),
   MA ( Microform )
   - oclcnum: Oclcnum
   - peerreview: Peerreview, 'Y' if the ISSN is peer-reviewed, 'N' if the
   ISSN is not peer-reviewed.
   - publisher: Publisher
   - rawcoverage: Human-readable Coverage
   - title: Title
   - issnl: Linking ISSN, as defined
here<http://www.issn.org/2-22637-What-is-an-ISSN-L.php>
   - rssurl: Journal feed URL, data obtained from
ticTOCS<http://www.tictocs.ac.uk/>
