A Digital Object Identifier or DOI is a unique number that makes it possible to identify a single object, most commonly an article.

When the American Psychological Association released the 6th edition of the APA Style Guide, DOIs have become of greater interest to most people — in particular to those who are required to use APA citation styles. Why? APA citation rules now require the DOI.

Some databases are putting the DOI in prominent places, others require some digging to locate. If you can’t easily find the DOI, you might try using these tools.

To locate a DOI: crossref.org free DOI lookup
