ONLINE SOURCES
Citing
online articles: Since online sources can
potentially change URLs, APA recommends providing a Digital
Object Identifier (DOI) when it is available. DOIs are an attempt
to provide stable links for online articles. They are unique
to their documents and consist of a long alphanumeric code.
Because not all publishers provide DOIs, the citation examples
below use the following guidelines:
- Use
the database name for articles found in VVC library databases.
Example: Retrieved from Expanded Academic ASAP database.
- Use
the DOI number when provided for articles found on the Internet.
Example: doi:10.1108/0309056710821161
- Use
the URL for articles without a DOI and all other Internet
sources.
Example: Retrieved from http://www.nytimes.com
