Formatting and numbering of publications

Design and quality assurance of bibliographic data

• The Research Administration is responsible for the template for theses (Con-text thesis). The template for the thesis can be downloaded here (requires login).
• The library can help with quality-assuring bibliographic data for publications that do not follow a fixed template.

ISBN and ISSN

• ISBN (books) and ISSN (series and journals) are numerical codes for unique identification of publications and are particularly useful for sales and bibliographic registration. The number in itself does not convey any form of legal or copyright protection.
• Publications by AHO can be assigned an ISBN if expedient for identification and sales/dissemination purposes. ISBNs are normally not assigned to student work.
• The library administers ISBNs and ISSNs. ISBNs for theses are assigned to the Research Administration, not to the individual candidates.

• Con-text thesis (1502-217x)
• AHO works (2387-5771)
