What is a DOI?
Some library databases, such as the Electronic Journal Center, list a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) for individual articles. A DOI is a unique identifying number for an article. In the database record for an article, you will see an element that looks like this, which you should include at the end of your APA reference, preceded by "http://dx.doi.org/":
Other databases include what might be called a static or stable URL. You may use this URL if the DOI is not provided. If neither a DOI or a stable URL are provided, provide the URL for journal's home page or the database that provided the full-text (e.g. http://www.jstor.org).
