DOIs

Print copies: If you access a journal as a printed copy then you do not need to include a DOI in your footnote or bibliography.
Online copies with DOI: If you access a journal article through an electronic database or website then it could have a DOI which you need to include in your footnote and bibliography.
Online copies without DOI: If you access a journal article through an electronic database or website and it does not have a DOI then you need to include the URL or the database name in your footnote and bibliography. If you give a URL, it should be short and easy to type into a browser from a print version.
