Publication identifiers: DOI, ISBN, ISSN, and catalog sheet

Abstract

Introduction: The number of different information systems and variety of documents create a more complex context and require a more comprehensive solution to identify and locate digital objects more effectively. Publication identifiers allow you to find information about an article or publication using a set of codes. Objective: Conduct a literature review to identify which are the main ones and how to use each bibliographic identifier present in intellectual productions. Material and Method: This study is a literature review with a view to obtaining a broad bibliographic review, analyzing publications indexed in the PUBMED database, digital books and other sources of information that were related to the proposed content. Literature Review: Publication identifiers allow you to find information about an article or publication using a set of codes. There are reference identifiers for this, such as ISBN and cataloging sheets for books, ISSN for journals and DOI for articles. The use of identifiers facilitates the search and optimizes the retrieval of documents. The identifier is a way of referencing the document and can be composed of numbers, letters and/or names, aimed at the persistent identification of digital resources to which intellectual property rights can be attributed. Final Considerations: Identifiers become extremely important as they help us to increase access to information, acquisition, communication, distribution of this data. It also makes it easy to search and locate various academic works globally, contributing to the visibility and accessibility of scientific production.
