IWU OCLS Tutorials: Citing without DOI - OCLS Support

How do I cite an article or book I found in an OCLS database if it doesn't have a DOI? 

Finding a DOI

Use CrossRef to locate the DOI for your article.  

Please note that not all articles or books have a DOI.

Using Academic Writer 

When filling out the form in Academic Writer, the DOI field in the Source section is not required. You can leave it blank.
