Frequently Asked Questions about our bibliographic format converter

What is a DOI?

DOI stands for Digital Object Identifier and describes a persistent alphanumeric identifier for documents published online. These documents can be journal articles or books for example. Some citation styles require you to include a DOI at the end of the citation.

What is a reference list in APA style?

The American Psychological Association recommends that you cite any works or individuals whose ideas, theories, or research have directly influenced your work. This means crediting them in-text with a short citation in the author-date format, e.g. (Hattie, 2008), and a full entry in the reference list. The entry in the reference list contains the author, year, title and source of the cited work. The APA style also mandates the formatting and structure of a paper. All the rules of the APA style can be found in the APA Manual, which is currently in its 7th edition.
