Articles
(Publication Manual, Chapter
7.01)

A new element to journal article citations with the 6th edition of the
Publication Manual is the addition of the DOI (digital object identifier), which
provides a persistent way of accessing digital information. See
DOI System
for a detailed explanation and to
resolve a DOI name. If the DOI is not provided in the online database, online
journal, or article, try
CrossRef's free DOI look-up
.
Note: not all articles have DOIs. Do not include a period at the end of the
citation as it may be interpreted as part of the DOI.
