DOI Numbers for Journal Articles
Some electronic content like journal articles are assigned a unique number called a Digital Object Identifier (DOI). The DOI gives a way to find an article. If a DOI is provided for a journal article, include it after the page numbers of the article as "doi:doi number".
If no DOI number is given, Seneca Libraries recommends that you do not use the URL of the article coming from a database as the link will not work properly. (URL access to database articles require user to be authenticated using username and password)
