APA Style Guide to Electronic Resources
• Retrieval date: No date necessary for content unlikely to change or to be updated (i.e. published journal articles)
• Name and location of source: Use a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) if available
![Page 26: Psychological Testing All those library resources that will help you find what you need.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d8a5503460f94a714e2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
DOI – Digital Object Indentifier
• Not every article will have a DOI• IF a DOI is present, you don’t need
to cite the database name.• The DOI is unique to each article.• Easiest to copy and paste a DOI in
a citation than to try and type it.
