About QSBN

QSBN (Qualified Standardized Bibliographic Number) is a global identification system that provides unique, permanent, and standardized codes for various types of works — including printed books, e-books, audio, video, courses, articles, research, and software.

QSBN exists to simplify registration, protect copyrights, and enable global traceability of creative and scholarly works in one open, accessible ecosystem. Each work registered through QSBN receives a digital fingerprint that can be verified anywhere, anytime.

Global Identifier for Creative and Scholarly Works

Our Mission

• Provide a universal identity for all creative and scholarly works
• Build a global, open bibliographic database
• Offer public access to verify authenticity, metadata, and ownership
• Establish a new global standard for cross-border publication registration

Global Scope

QSBN is designed as an international non-profit organization open to publishers, authors, researchers, content creators, educational institutions, libraries, and distribution platforms worldwide. Its country-based and content-type-based coding system enables the registration of millions of unique entries each year, supporting multiple languages and scripts.

How It Works

1. Publishers or creators register their work through the QSBN system.
2. The system issues a unique code in this format: QSBN-YYNNN-TT-SSSSSC
3. The code is included on every copy or distribution of the work.
4. The public can scan the code (QR/Barcode) to view the official record of the work.

Why QSBN Matters

• Guarantees authenticity and ownership of works
• Makes works globally searchable and indexable
• Strengthens copyright protection
• Enhances the credibility of publishers and creators

Open for Collaboration

QSBN welcomes partnerships with:

• Book and media publishers
• Digital distribution platforms
• Educational and research institutions
• Libraries and national archives

We believe that knowledge and creativity are humanity’s legacy, deserving proper identity and protection — and QSBN exists to make that possible.
