Most articles and some academic books that have been published within the last 20 years will have a DOI number. If a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) has been assigned to the article that you are citing, you should include this after the page numbers for the article.

This is the general APA format for citing a journal article, followed by an example:

Author, A. A., & Author, B. B. (Date of publication). Title of article. Title of Journal, volume number
     (issue number), page range. https://doi:0000000/000000000000 

Grady, J. S., Moreno, G., Perez, C., & Yelinek, J. (2019). Emotions in storybooks: A comparison of storybooks
     that represent ethnic and racial groups in the United States. Psychology of Popular Media Culture, 8(3),
     207–217. https://doi.org/10.1037/ppm0000185

Note: If you cannot find the DOI for an article, you can search for it in Crossref: https://search.crossref.org/. Copy and paste the citation information you have into the Crossref search box to see if it can locate the article and DOI. If you are still not sure if the article has a DOI, ask the library and we will help you look. 

For more information about DOIs, see the APA Style guidelines.
