How do I cite a journal article with a DOI in APA format?
In APA format, include the DOI for all works that have one. It goes at the end of your reference–no period at the end.
Author, A. A., & Author, B. B. (Date of publication). Title of article. Title of Journal, volume number, page range. https://doi.org/10.0000/0000
If your article has no DOI whatsoever, which may happen with older articles, simply omit this from the citation.
Author, A. A., & Author, B. B. (Date of publication). Title of article. Title of Journal, volume number, page range.
AMA/JAMA format?
When using a DOI in an AMA citation, do not include an “Accessed” date or a URL. Put the DOI at the end of your citation, prefaced with “doi:”
Author AA, Author BB. Title of article. Name of Jrnl. Year;vol(issue):inclusive pages. doi:10.0000000/000000000000
MLA format?
As of the most recent (8th) edition, MLA encourages students to include the DOI at the end of the citation for an online scholarly journal article. If no DOI exists, use the URL.
Author Last Name, FirstName, and FirstName Last Name. “Article Title.” Journal Name, vol. #, no. #, date, pp. ##-##. Name of Database, doi: 10.0000/000000000.
It’s a good idea to check with your instructor whether they want you to include the date you accessed the article, although this is not required by MLA.
