Summarize the 6 APA Guidelines for Electronic Sources on the URLs vs. DOIs page.
1. Provide DOIs over URLS whenever possible. 2. If no DOI is available, use the source's URL in the citation. 3. Place the DOI or URL at the end of the citation, formatting the rest of the citation as normal for an equivalent non-digital source. 4. A DOI should be preceded by a "doi:" label (note the lowercase). 5. The APA allows for the use of either the modern alphanumeric string format ("doi:0000000/000000000000") or the older doi.org format ("https://doi.org/10.0000/0000"). Use whichever is provided by the source. 6. If using a URL, include the phrase "Retrieved from..." before the URL.
