DOI Lookup: DOI Lookup

DOI Look-up

D.O.I. to Full-Text: Access an article via the CSU Stanislaus Library

 

 

For best results, enter the DOI starting with: 10.# . Do not include https://doi.org/ or DOI:, but start with the # (e.g. 10.#).

You can also visit the OneSearch Fetch Item form and enter the D.O.I. in the D.O.I. field form.

 

Citation to D.O.I.: Find the D.O.I. for an article (using author, journal and/or title):

 

crossref.org provides a DOI Lookup service that will search for a DOI based on citation information (author's last name, journal name, article title, etc.).

 

Additional D.O.I. look-up system:

DOI.Org

The general D.O.I. look-up systems (Cross-Ref or DOI.org) will access an article's "home page" on the original publisher's website (like SAGE, Elsevier, etc.).  The publisher usually provides an abstract of the article free to the public (but will only provide the full-text if the library has a subscription). These generic DOI look-ups will also not access full-text of articles provided by library subscriptions on third-party "aggregator"  sites (like EBSCO and ProQuest).

 

Electronic Journals & the D.O.I. System

What is a D.O.I.? A Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is assigned to electronic journal articles (and selected other online content) to specifically and permanently identify and access that article. Most of the standard academic citation formats now require the inclusion of DOIs within a citation when available.

How to find a D.O.I.: Most current academic journal articles include a DOI (usually listed on the first page of the article). Most library databases list a DOI with the record for recent academic journal articles. Most non-academic articles (including magazine and newspaper articles) as well as many older academic journal articles do not have a DOI.  Crossref.org provides a DOI Lookup service that will search for a DOI based on citation information (author's last name, journal name, article title, etc.).

How to access an article via a D.O.I.: Use the DOI Look-up search boxes above for options provided by the library, including access to the full-text via the publisher's site or a library database service when available. Other, general DOI look-up systems (CrossRef & DOI.org) usually link to the article's "homepage" on the publisher's site (which usually include a free abstract but full-text access is restricted to subscribers).
