Better yet-  when you click on the APA link, the citation for the source is formatted in what appears to be APA style. Can you trust this source and just cut and paste this formatting onto your reference page?

A DOI number, or a “digital object identifier,” is a unique alphanumeric string that identifies content and provides a persistent link to its location on the internet. A DOI is a number that is specific to a certain piece and identifies it among other digital sources. Journal articles will commonly have a DOI associated with that specific article. Depending on where an article can be found, you may need to include a URL in place of a DOI. Guidelines for including a DOI or a URL can be found in the APA 7, Section 9.34.

Here are the general guidelines:EXCELSIOR – NUR513 RESEARCH AND EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE Module 4 Quiz

• Include a DOI for all works that have a DOI, regardless if you use the online version or the print version.
• If a print work does not have a DOI, do not include any DOI or URL in the reference.
• If a work has both a DOI and a URL, include only the DOI.
• If an online work has a URL but no DOI, include the URL in the reference as follows:
  • For works without DOIs from websites (not included in databases), provide a URL in the reference.
  • For works without DOIs from academic databases, do not include a URL or database information in the reference because these works are widely available. The reference should be the same as the reference for a print version of the work.
• Other alphanumeric identifiers such as the International Standard Book Number (ISBN) and the International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) are not included in APA style references.
