Producing your own publications
Getting an ISBN or ISSN
If you are personally undertaking a publishing process, we can help you obtain an ISBN for your book or an ISSN for your journal.

Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs)
If you require a persistent identifier for your publication we can provide advice on assigning DOIs to RIS outputs. This includes edited collections where the editor is a member of the University of Nottingham but one or more of the authors is not.
Email the Open Access team about DOIs
