Showing ISBN using IEEEtran.bst

Question

I saw BibTex - Show ISBN number? where it says that IEEEtran.bst will show the ISBN data. I am using this in my thesis, but it does not show the ISBN data. Can you suggest what could be wrong or what changes are required?

If you are not close to finishing it switch to BibLaTeX. You won't regret it. — percusse, Feb 25 '13 at 21:10

@Mico was wrong on this one. None of the IEEE* styles recognizes the ISBN entry. You could either switch to another style that has support for this, or hack IEEEtran.bst to achieve it, or switch to biblatex altogether.

The problem can be solved using a small trick. In ieeetran style, when you use @book, don't use ISBN field, you may use other field to insert ISBN, I am using "note" field like that:

note = {ISBN: 978-1111111111}

, or any format you like. May this trick solve your issue.

using note it prints the first letter of "ISBN" small as "iSBN: 978-1111111111". – Rasoul Jul 26 '13 at 14:13
