How an ISBN Helps Preserve Your Research for Future Generations?

 The only lasting value of research is its accessibility for future researchers. Each dissertation is meant to add knowledge to the existing body of knowledge. If that knowledge is never formally published and circulated, it may never be widely recognized or applied.

An easily overlooked first step to ensure lasting value is publishing your master’s or doctoral dissertation and assigning an International Standard Book Number (ISBN).

An ISBN uniquely identifies every book that is professionally published. Although it may seem to be simply a string of numbers, the ISBN identifies the published work for all sectors of the global publishing industry: libraries, publishers, booksellers, retailers, and distributors. Without ISBN identifying details, you’re just another scholar among thousands in an university’s academic data repository. Readers searching university library catalogs or book websites rely on identifying data linked to ISBNs.

ISBN identifying details ensure a more findable piece of academic writing for future seekers of information.

A Good Work is the First Step A good deal goes into the process of preparing your thesis as book for publishing. In order to meet the requirements of master’s level work and doctoral degrees, many studies focus on in depth analysis that may be overly technical for general reader audience . An Academic dissertation presents the information to an academic audience (e.g. Professors/ committee’s for evaluation.

A book presents the same work, but in format which would serve as a engaging, reader friendly academic published material. The editors can refine your arguments, clarity of expression, and logical presentation of research findings so you may clearly communicate your findings to other professionals. A number of components contribute to the overall professionalism of a publication: Typesetting formatting the book layout, cover design and its presentation contribute to its professional appearance.

Professional editing service is also necessary to ensure the work is free of errors and reads smoothly and lucidly to its audience .

Data Organization for Sustainability An important element of assigning ISBN numbers: In the course of registering your ISBN number, important pieces of data regarding your published thesis are cataloged in global and national bibliographic databases. The identification data recorded while obtaining an ISBN usually includes the following details: The publication’s titles and author-assigned ISBNs (sometimes you need to buy a set for all the types of editions, i.e. Hardcover, eBook etc.). ISBN registration facilitates search engine functionality, provides details for library search databases and makes finding your book easier. In addition Internationalization Books registered with an ISBN can circulate internationally.

The global distribution network through libraries and e-readers will ensure your findings can contribute globally, even to researchers not situated at your home institution.

Contribution to a researcher’s career The act of publishing the work has profound impacts on an individual’s academic career. While a thesis remains mostly undiscoverable in many institutional data repositories after several years of use, a published dissertation can attract readers long after its publication. A researcher builds upon other’s work which provides avenues for researchers (who may not work at your alma matter ) for further studies and analysis.

Being cited in journals, a work can support one’s academic reputation, which enhances citation possibilities for the researcher. Ultimately, academic papers published in books are considered more reliable by the publishing standards and by professionals and academics. Researching the World for New Ideas Since the academic world has become increasingly internationalized and interdisciplinary, international collaboration in sharing our works becomes more important than ever.

The international distribution systems for ISBN-registered publications provide excellent opportunity for sharing new ideas.

Your work’s potential to contribute to the body of knowledge is greatly increased by Publishing your dissertation. After Years of Scholarship, Let Your Ideas Continue… After years of hard work producing your doctoral degree or Master’s of Studies or whatever advanced degree may be necessary; let these great research projects continue to live. Don’t just let them accumulate dust at your universities archives and be forever overlooked. Let them live and be accessed to be used as foundations by future scholars or students interested in this particular topic.
