Free Resource for Looking Up Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs)

DOI locator. The following link takes you to CrossRef.org—a free reference-linking service that makes it easy for students and researchers to find DOIs for scholarly articles. The abbreviation DOI stands for Digital Object Identifier. To use the site, you must first create an account. This is free—they just require a valid email address. Then follow the online directions. In most cases this means providing whatever reference information you currently have regarding an article (author, date, title, journal, etc.). The web site provides a sample reference to illustrate the format that you should follow when typing this information. Submit it and CrossRef.org immediately returns the correct DOI for the article. You can then copy the DOI from the web site and paste it directly into your References section.
