# Dimensions publication ID (`dimensions_publication_id`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Identifier of a publication in Dimensions, the research database of Digital Science: pub. and ten digits, as in https://app.dimensions.ai/details/publication/pub.1099398931. Wikidata property P6179 stores only the ten digits, so the regexp accepts both forms. In a sample of 600 Wikidata values, 532 match; the rest are physical book dimensions (6 x 0.59 x 9 inches) entered into the property by mistake.
