The International Standard Book Number (ISBN) and the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) are among the identification features for publications that make locating and retrieving a resource as easy and reliable as possible.
ISBN - FAQ
The International Standard Book Number (ISBN) is a globally unique identification number for monographic publications and other standalone publications.
An ISBN number is not required for a book. However, if you plan to publish and sell a large number of copies, you should definitely apply for an ISBN.
Please note that as soon as you make a change to your book, you will also need a new ISBN number (for example, a change to the text or cover). An unchanged reprint or a simple price change, on the other hand, does not require a new ISBN number. Printed and online publications of the same work are assigned different ISBNs, even if the titles are identical.

The Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is a unique and permanent identifier for electronically published documents that is directly linked to the object and associated with metadata. Assigning a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) allows scientific findings to be cited reliably and in a standardized format. The object remains permanently accessible.
A DOI registration:
makes digital objects uniquely identifiable and more easily accessible.
facilitates citation and increases the visibility of research data.
is the standard in academia for the publication of scientific articles.
improves access to scientific data.
