DOI stands for Digital Object Identifier. It's a standardized scheme for finding articles and other digital files. You can try searching for a DOI number in several of the Library's databases, including ProQuest or SmartSearch. Here are some other tips and tools that may help:
CrossRef.org
Crossref.org has a free DOI lookup service. Find the search box on their homepage, and click on the Search Metadata tab; then enter the DOI.
CrossRef will give you the full citation information for the article, and (in most cases) a link to the article on the publisher's homepage.
Finding articles using citation information
If you weren't able to find the full text of the article using a library database or CrossRef, click here to watch a 3-minute video that will show you other methods to track it down, or order it for free using our interlibrary loan service.
