+==== What are these DOIs doing in my bibliography? ====
-The Digital Object Identifier ([[http://www.doi.org/|DOI]]) is a [[Identifiers|unique identifier]] used to provide a permanent link to any object in the digital environment.  They are now issued to all articles by the majority of journals.
+The Digital Object Identifier ([[http://www.doi.org/|DOI]]) is a unique identifier used to provide a permanent link to digital objects. DOIs are now issued to most (new) journal articles, as well as many books, book chapters, and other items.
-Several [[style_standards|professional association style guides]] now specify the use of the DOI when citing journal articles.
+Several [[style_standards|professional association style guides]] now specify the use of the DOI when citing journal articles. For example, [[http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/10/|APA]] recommends the use of the DOI over the URL. Many publishers also request that the DOI be included in submitted manuscripts, even if they are not included in the final published paper, as they use them for formatting and to link references with electronic databases.
-For example the [[http://books.apa.org/books.cfm?id=4210509|APA Style Guide to Electronic References]] in June 2007 specified the use of the DOI for material accessed online.  Where the DOI is not known or unavailable, the URL should be used.
+In general, if a CSL/Zotero style includes the DOI, it is a good idea to leave it in. If you have a good reason to remove the DOI from the official style, it is possible to [[dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step|edit the CSL style]]. See [[/forum/discussion/4884/doi-reference-in-apastyle/#Item_4|this discussion]] for more details.
