A DOI (digital object identifier) is an alphanumeric code assigned to a journal article. It is intended to make articles easier to locate on the internet. A DOI provides a persistent, permanent link to your article's location on the internet.
How do I recognize it?
They usually start with a 10 and are displayed as an alphanumeric string of digits or a web page URL. Examples:
- 10.1016/j.jpsychires.2017.11.014
- doi:10.1080/02626667.2018.1560449
- https://doi.org/10.1111/hex.12487
Do all articles have a DOI?
No, but most publishers do assign DOIs to articles. Some older articles may not have DOIs.
Are articles with a DOI peer-reviewed?
DOIs are not related to the peer-review status of an article. Both peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed articles can have DOIs.
Does my article have a DOI?
You can look up an article's DOI using CrossRef's DOI tool.
