Some citation styles (such as APA) require DOI for referencing articles from electronic databases.
A Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is a unique alphanumeric string that identifies content and provide a persistent link to its location on the Internet. The publisher assigns a DOI when the article is published and made available electronically.
Where to find DOI?
- First page of the electronic journal article
- Near the copyright notice
- Database landing page for an article
- In the citation generated by the database
- Online, using the free DOI lookup on www.crossref.org
Not all articles or journals use DOIs. if you can't find a DOI you can use the persistent (or permanent, or stable) link url in your citation instead.
