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:
