Can I find an article using a DOI?

Answer

A digital object identifier (DOI) is a unique string of letters and numbers assigned to identify an article and provide a permanent link to its location on the Internet.

For example: 

  • https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2018.304826

To search for an article on the Internet by the assigned DOI, type it into your address bar, just as you would any other URL.

Quick Find on the library website does not allow you to search using a DOI. However, if you know what an article's DOI is, you can learn other information, such as the name of the journal or article name, by searching the DOI on the Internet using a browser. This additional information will allow you to search Quick Find using the journal or article name.
