What is a DOI? How can I find an article if I have a DOI for it?
Answer
A DOI is a Digital Object Identifier. This is a unique, permanent string of numbers, letters, and symbols used to identify academic, professional, and government documents.
A DOI will always point to the exact same item.
A DOI will always start with the number 10, followed by a publisher-specific prefix and an article- or dataset-specific suffix, separated by a slash.
DOIs can work as links when https://doi.org/ is included before the numbers.
If you have a DOI and need to access an article, the easiest option is to search using the article's DOI (https://doi.org) first.
If this does not work, try searching for the article in the library's main search bar on the homepage OR using Request It! Services.
