Example:
(Arca et al., 2014, p. 125)If a journal article has a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) listed, you will always include this identifier in your reference. You will not have to include the URL of the journal's home page or of the database from which you retrieved the article if a DOI is available. See the box on the right for more about DOIs.
If you viewed a journal article in an online database and it does not have a DOI, you will need to do a quick search outside of the database to locate the URL for the journal's home page (pp. 191-192). This information must be included in the reference.
If you viewed a journal article in its print format, be sure to check if it has a DOI listed. If it does not, your reference to the article does not require a DOI.
