What is the ISBN number?
An ISBN, or International Standard Book Number, is a numeric commercial book identifier that is unique for every book, including e-books and audio books.
ISBNs are calculated using a specific mathematical formula and include a check digit to validate the number. Publishers, booksellers, libraries, and other retailers worldwide use ISBNs to market and buy books.
On most books, the ISBN number can be found on the back cover, next to the barcode. You most likely have seen them many times.
ISBNs usually start with 978 followed by 10 digits or 9 digits plus an X. An ISBN can be split into blocks of digits giving information about the language of the book and publisher.

🔎 Do you include ISBN in MLA citations?

📖 Does every book have an ISBN number?
Yes, every major and most minor publishers will automatically assign an ISBN to any book they publish. Only self-published books are most likely not going to have an ISBN. Also, ISBNs were developed only in the second half of the twentieth century, so older books won’t have them.
🤷♀️ Is ISBN and DOI the same thing?
No, they are not the same thing. ISBNs are used to identify each unique publication whether in the form of a physical book or related materials such as eBooks or software. A DOI, or Digital Object Identifier, is a string of numbers, letters and symbols used to permanently identify an article or document and link to it on the web.
