Answer
- In most scholarly journal articles, the DOI will be printed with the article itself, usually on the first page somewhere: below the title or in the header or footer.
- If the DOI isn’t included in the article, look it up on the website CrossRef.org (use the “Search Metadata” option) to check for an assigned DOI.
