Identifiers Service
The Library offers and Identifiers Service to staff, researchers and students at NUI Galway. Both DOIs and ISBNs are provided.
DOI Service
The DOI (Digital Obeject Identifier) service provides for the registration and use of persistent interoperable identifiers called DOIs. The use of DOIs ensures that your publications and other research outputs are accurately attributed and easily tracked for bibliometrics. On receipt of a request for a DOI the Library creates or ‘mints’ a DOI using the EZID service at http://ezid.cdlib.org/. DOIs can be created individually on an ad-hoc basis for any digital resource available online or integrated into other campus services provided centrally or by researchers.
ISBN Service
An ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is a product number, used by publishers, booksellers and libraries for ordering, listing and stock control purposes. It enables them to identify a particular publisher and allows the publisher to identify a specific edition of a specific title in a specific format within their output. The ISBN Agency is the national agency for the UK and Republic of Ireland. The ISBN service provides ISBN numbers that can be assigned to the publications of NUI Galway staff. Your book must denote National University of Ireland, Galway as its publisher. If a commercial/academic publisher is publishing your book then that publisher will assign the ISBN. If you are not a member of NUI Galway staff, you should apply to Nielsens, the ISBN Agents for the UK and Ireland for an ISBN. If you are a staff member, researcher or student at NUI Galway and wish to apply for an ISBN, the Library maintains a range of ISBN numbers that can be assigned to the publications of NUI Galway staff, researchers and students. This service is for NUI Galway staff only and your book must denote National University of Ireland, Galway as its publisher.
For more information please consult the section on the Identifiers Service in the Library Guide on Open Access Publishing
