ISBN for a doctoral thesis
Before you send your doctoral thesis to print it will need a unique ID. This is called an International Standard Book Number (ISBN) and is usually printed on the cover 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.
