  14. What is the DOI System? The DOI is the abbreviation for digital object identifier. DOI systems can be found online under sites such as CrossRef. The official website is: http://www.doi.org

  15. Who developed DOI? • DOI was developed by international publishers as a way to digitally identify and manage books and periodicals that are published or put on the internet. • The registration agency, the International DOI Foundation, is the governing body and assigns the DOI identity code.

  16. What does the DOI System do? • It identifies electronic information by assigning them a ten digit DOI identity number. This number uses an alphanumeric string to catalog electronic information. • The DOI system establishes a permanent link to a source.

  17. Where do I find the DOI reference of an article? The DOI can usually be found as part of the general description of a book or periodical. That is after the information on author, title of book, article title and journal title. Although it was stated that ten digits are used, the DOI could be longer. In the reference section, it is the last piece of information of a reference.

  18. What does this mean for me? There are several changes in how the information in the reference section of a paper appear. These changes may reduce or add to the amount of information that is needed.
