- Neutrinoless double beta ($0νββ$) decay is the most promising way to determine whether neutrinos are Majorana particles. There are many experiments based on different isotopes searching for $0νββ$ decay. Combining the searches of $0νββ$ decay in multiple isotopes provides a possible method to distinguish operators and different models. The contributions to $0νββ$ decay come from standard, long-range, and short-range mechanisms. We analyze the scenario in which the standard and short-range operators exist simultaneously within the framework of low-energy effective field theory. Five specific models are considered, which can realize neutrino mass and can contribute to $0νββ$ decay via multiple mechanisms. A criterion to evaluate the possibilities of future experiments to discriminate operators and models is built. We find that the complementary searches for $0νββ$ decay in different isotopes can distinguish the cases that contain the low-energy effective operators $\mathcal{O}_{1,2,5}$ and R-parity violating supersymmetry model. For other cases and models, the experimental searches within multiple isotopes can also more effectively constrain the parameter region than with only one isotope.
