FINDING DOIs

If you cannot find an article's DOI in a library database, use the free CrossRef DOI search.

Note: Not all articles have a DOI. 

Finding DOIs in Library Databases

EBSCO Databases

• The DOI is listed on the Detailed Record page (when you click the article's title from the search results).
• If the Detailed Record doesn't have the DOI check the first page of the article. 

ProQuest Databases

• The DOI is listed at the top of the Full Text page (when you click the article's title from the search results). 
• If the Full Text page doesn't have the DOI check the first page of the article.
