DOI, ISBN, ISSN, and PMID are unique identifiers used to identify and locate specific publications. Here's what each acronym stands for and how they are used:

DOI (Digital Object Identifier): DOI is a persistent alphanumeric string assigned to a digital object, typically a journal article or a research publication. It provides a permanent link to the content, ensuring its accessibility even if the URL or location changes. DOIs are widely used in academic publishing and are commonly found in citation references. They help researchers locate and access specific articles quickly.

ISBN (International Standard Book Number): ISBN is a unique numeric identifier assigned to books and book-like publications. It is used to identify individual books, specific editions of books, or other monographic publications. Each edition and format of a book typically has its own ISBN. ISBNs are crucial for cataloging, ordering, and referencing books, making it easier to identify and locate specific titles.

ISSN (International Standard Serial Number): ISSN is a unique numeric identifier assigned to serial publications, such as journals, magazines, and newspapers. It helps distinguish different serial publications and ensures their proper identification and cataloging. Each print and electronic version of a serial publication typically has its own ISSN. ISSN numbers are commonly used in library systems, databases, and citation references to accurately identify and locate specific issues or volumes of serial publications.

PMID (PubMed IDentifier): PMID is a unique identifier assigned to each article indexed in PubMed, a widely used database for biomedical literature. It is a numeric value that provides a direct link to the article's information in the PubMed database. PMID is commonly used by researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals to reference and locate specific articles in the field of biomedicine.

These unique identifiers play a crucial role in academic publishing, library systems, and online databases, ensuring accurate referencing, easy access, and efficient retrieval of specific publications or articles.What are DOI, ISBN, ISSN and PMID in research?
