ISBN for doctoral theses
Before you send your doctoral thesis to print it will need a unique ID. This is called International Standard Book Number (ISBN) and is usually printed on the first page of the doctoral thesis. You are assigned two ISBNs, one for the printed version and one for the electronic version. Both numbers must be included in both versions.
