A DOI, or Digital Object Identifier, is a string of numbers, letters and symbols used to uniquely identify an article or document, and to provide it with a permanent web address (URL).

A DOI will help you easily locate a document from your citation. It usually appears somewhere on the front page of the article. Think of it like the permanent address for the article you are citing — it will always refer to that article, and only that one. 

You may find DOIs formatted in various ways:

  • doi:10.1080/02626667.2018.1560449
  • https://doi.org/10.1111/hex.12487
  • https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/02626667.2018.1560449
  • https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpsychires.2017.11.014
