Finding a DOI for a journal article (when it isn't included in the article or citation)

• Go to Crossref.org

• Choose "Search Metadata"
• Search your article title (copy and paste makes it easy)

• If the article appears in the first 3-4 on the list...
  • right click (or the equivalent) and copoy the DOI URL (https://doi.org/.....)
  • paste the DOI URL into your citation
• If the article doesn't appear in the first few on the list (and your title was entered correctly), it probably doesn't have a DOI. See the instructions for finding the journal URL if required.

Finding a Journal URL when a DOI is not available

• Search the web (Google) for the Journal Title

• Choose the link that points to the overview page

• Verify that you can choose issues and articles from the page
• Highlight and copy the URL
