Help finding a DOI for a book or article?
Answer
A DOI (Digital Object Identifier) is a unique and permanent alphanumeric string used to identify a specific digital object, such as a journal article, dataset, book, or book chapter. DOIs have become a standard way of identifying and linking scholarly works, particularly for newer publications. However, not every publication has a DOI. Books may or may not have one depending on the publisher or when it was published. Older journal articles may also lack a DOI, particularly if they were published before DOIs became widely adopted or were never assigned one by the publisher or DOI registration agency.
"DOIs include a prefix (prefixes always start with 10.) and a suffix, separated by a forward slash (/). Prefacing the DOI with doi.org/ will turn it into an actionable link, for example, https://doi.org/10.5334/dsj-2017-040. Clicking that link will ‘resolve’ it, i.e. redirect to the latest information about the object it identifies, even if the object changes or moves." -DOI Foundation, https://www.doi.org/
