What is a DOI and does my article have one? DOI stands for Digital Object Identifier. If a DOI exists for a publication, APA style requires reference list citations to contain the DOI number. Although some databases will include the DOI number, you can search for a DOI using the title, author or text of a publication by clicking on this link to Crossref.org. Crossref will also allow you to search by DOI.
