A DOI is a unique set of numbers, letters, or symbols that is permanently assigned to a research object (article, dataset, book chapter, etc.), usually by a publisher. A DOI also serves as a link to a research object on the web. DOIs are often displayed in two forms: doi: 10.32393/jlmms/2019.0002 or https://doi.org/10.32393/jlmms/2019.0002. Either option is accepted in scholarly literature.

A DOI is an important tool in helping researchers find research objects online. It serves as a permanent link to the object, even if the original URL changes.
There are several methods to finding a DOI:
Check the Robertson Library's citation guide for specific guidelines on citing articles with DOIs. The citation guide provides information on APA, MLA, and Chicago/Turabian.
Sometimes DOIs are not presented as a link, for example 10.32393/jlmms/2019.0002 isn't a link. To turn it into one, add "https://doi.org/" in front of the DOI provided.
Yes, you can use the Robertson Library's DOI Lookup Tool or the DOI System's Lookup Tool (on campus only).
