Getting citations and reference lists done correctly can be very confusing and time-consuming. That's why we developed BibGuru—to let you concentrate on your writing instead of stressing over how to format your references properly. We believe students shouldn't have to spend hours manually entering information or risk losing points due to citation errors.
BibGuru is a quick and easy-to-use DOI citation generator built with students in mind. Its efficient search tool lets you find journal articles just using the DOI and instantly add them to your bibliography.
The way you cite using a DOI varies depending on the citation style you're using. Major styles like APA and MLA include DOIs in their citations. With BibGuru, citing a DOI is incredibly simple. Just copy and paste the DOI into the Article search field, and BibGuru will locate your source and generate the correct citation in your preferred style, complete with the DOI.
DOI stands for digital object identifier and is a string of numbers, letters and symbols used to uniquely identify an article and document and link it to the web. A DOI of an object will never change, which makes it a permanent identification.
How you cite a DOI depends on the citation style you use. Many citation styles, including APA or MLA ask you to include the DOI at the end of your citation in the bibliography. You don't need to worry how to cite a DOI with the BibGuru DOI citation generator in any style - we will do it in the correct way for you.
If you cite in the APA style, include the DOI for all works that have one. If you find an article on the "open web" (such as finding it on Google), and it doesn't have a DOI, you need the full URL of the article.
DOI and ISBN (International Standard Book Number) are two different identification numbers and are totally unrelated.
A DOI is used to permanently identify an electronic article or book and link it to the web. Beware that not all electronic materials will have a DOI. As it is a fairly new concept, books and articles published prior to 2000 are less likely to have a DOI.
