DOI stands for Direct Object Identifier. It is a number that identifies a specific journal article like an ISBN identifies a book. We use these numbers to help others find the sources you have cited even if they do not have access to it through the same database as you.
A DOI will appear as a link starting with https://doi.org/ or as just a series of numbers (and occasional letters). It always starts with 10.
Use the DOI as the link to the source in your bibliography or reference list.
If there is no DOI, find the permalink. This is indicated with an icon of two chain links or will be included in the auto-generated citation in the database or website you are using. It usually has "plink" or "perma" included in the URL or is much shorter than the link at the top of your browser.
Use the link at the top of your browser as a last resort for citations.
