Where can I find the DOI?

Last updated on March 02, 2026

A Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is a unique code which can be used to cite and link electronic documents. A DOI is guaranteed never to change, so you can use it to link permanently to electronic documents.

The DOI typically consists of a prefix which is a unique number of four or more digits assigned to organizations (e.g. 10.1016), and a suffix which identifies the journal and article (e.g. j.arabjc.2017.05.011).
