On the moderator approval screen for "Add New ..." publication entries, show a 'warning' (similar to what is already done for new authors, pseudonyms, etc.) next to the ISBN field if the ISBN already exists in the database.
This is the first thing I check when processing new entries and with newer editors often find cases where they are submitting a duplicate or should have used clone instead.
