What is a DOI?

A DOI or Digital Object Identifier is a unique string of letters and numbers assigned to a published article made available electronically by a publisher. It provides a persistent, unambiguous link to the most recent version of an online item, and is a quick way to find an article cited in another work. It is used in the APA reference style for citing online references.

Example of the APA style:

Braddick, O., & Atkinson, J. (2011). Development of human visual function. Vision Research, 51(13), 1588-1609. DOI: 10.1016/j.visres.2011.02.018
