Calibre Periodical Categorization

Can someone help me with an issue I'm having with book categorization in Calibre/Kindle Fire HD ?

What Im looking for is a way to categorize a book series (magazine pdfs) as periodical so when I transfer to kindle fire, it shows up in Newsstand tab. After searching, it looks like I need to set CDE Type (501) as 'MAGZ' when converting to mobi. Looking at the code for news, I found this.

Code:
def is_periodical(self): return self.oeb.metadata.publication_type and \ unicode(self.oeb.metadata.publication_type[0]).startswith('periodical:')
so, it looks like I need to set metadata 'publication_type' to 'periodical:something'. the question is how to add this metadata while conversion.

any help is highly appreciated.
