Many authors often fall into the misconception that only books with paper ISBNs are truly regular publications.
But in fact, both e-book numbers and paper book numbers are legal forms of international standard book numbers (ISBNs), and every book with an e-book number or paper book number can be queried by the relevant authorities.
Therefore, whether it is an e-book number or a paper book number, it is a regular publication, but the publication form and process are different.
Is an eBook Number a regular book number?
Both e-book numbers and paper book numbers are international standard book numbers and are legal. However, e-book numbers do not need to go through the Chinese version of the library to allocate CIP data during the publishing process, so there is only an ISBN number, and there is no CIP verification number. The paper book number not only has the ISBN number, but also the CIP data verification number.
The publishing form of the e-book number is usually "paper book + CD", and the paper book cannot be separated**, it must be paired with a CD. Paper book numbers, on the other hand, do not have such restrictions.
Generally speaking, an e-book number can be used to evaluate job titles. However, whether it is applicable or not needs to be judged according to the relevant regulations of the evaluation unit. If the evaluation document requires that the book must have both ISBN and CIP data, then the book published by the e-book number may not be eligible.
In recent years, the CIP has been relaxed in the appraisal documents of many Authorities. Many authorities now only require books to have ISBNs and publish them publicly, eliminating the need for CIP data verification numbers.
Therefore, if there is no special requirement from the evaluation unit, choosing e-book number publishing is a cost-effective choice, which can effectively save the author's time and cost.
