ISBN (identifier)

Mdahlkem:

The '''International Standard Book Number''' ('''ISBN''') is a numeric commercial [[book]] [[identifier]] that is intended to be unique.Publishers purchase or receive ISBNs from an affiliate of the International ISBN Agency.<ref>{{cite web|title=The International ISBN Agency|url=https://www.isbn-international.org/|access-date=20 February 2018|archive-date=24 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180224032510/https://www.isbn-international.org/|url-status=live}}</ref>

A different ISBN is assigned to each separate edition and variation of a publication, but not to a simple reprinting of an existing item. For example, an [[e-book]], a [[paperback]] and a [[hardcover]] edition of the same [[book]] must each have a different ISBN, but an unchanged reprint of the hardcover edition keeps the same ISBN. The ISBN is ten digits long if assigned before 2007, and thirteen digits long if assigned on or after 1 January 2007. The method of assigning an ISBN is nation-specific and varies between countries, often depending on how large the publishing industry is within a country.

The first version of the ISBN identification format was devised in 1967, based upon the 9-digit '''Standard Book Numbering''' ('''SBN''') created in 1966. The 10-digit ISBN format was developed by the [[International Organization for Standardization]] (ISO) and was published in 1970 as international standard ISO 2108 (any 9-digit SBN can be converted to a 10-digit ISBN by prefixing it with a zero).

Privately published books sometimes appear without an ISBN. The International ISBN Agency sometimes assigns ISBNs to such books on its own initiative.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Bradley |first=Philip |year=1992 |url=http://www.theindexer.org/files/18-1/18-1_025.pdf |title=Book numbering: The importance of the ISBN |format=PDF [245KB] |journal=The Indexer |volume=18 |issue=1 |pages=25–26 |doi=10.3828/indexer.1992.18.1.11 |s2cid=193442570 |access-date=4 September 2009 |archive-date=21 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210221021131/https://www.theindexer.org/files/18-1/18-1_025.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>

A separate identifier code of a similar kind, the [[International Standard Serial Number]] (ISSN), identifies periodical publications such as [[magazine]]s and [[newspaper]]s. The [[International Standard Music Number]] (ISMN) covers [[Sheet music|musical scores]].

Mdahlkem:

The 'Open Researcher and Contributor ID' ([https://orcid.org/ ORCID iD]) is a type of persistent identifier ([[PID]]) that is compatible with the 'International Standard Name Identifier' (ISNI). ORCID iDs were designed specifically for the research community. They are issued without cost by the open, non-profit, community-driven organization 'ORCID'.

ORCID is a non-profit organization supported by a global community of organizational members, including research organizations, publishers, funders, professional associations, and other stakeholders in the research ecosystem.

Researchers registered with an ORCID iD can use the ORCID registry’s transparent linking mechanism to pull in data from other PID platforms such as [[arXiv]], [[INSPIRE]], [[Crossref]], [[DataCite]] and [[Zenodo]] to create their own verifiable research profile. Publications, funding bodies, websites, datasets etc. can be added automatically to the researcher’s profile if the ORCID iD was used.

ORCID provides an API to support system-to-system communication and authentication. The many relationships identified through the ORCiD registry result in a more satisfactory discovery process for those seeking research findings, as well as more efficient distribution of research funding and stronger collaboration within the research community.

A preprint is a version of a scientific paper that precedes formal peer review and publication in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.

While the publication in a peer-reviewed journal often takes some time, authors frequently distribute findings of scientific research by submitting their preprints to an institutional repository (in CERN’s case [[CDS]]) or other preprint databases like for example [[ArXiv|arXiv.org]].
