A digital object identifier (DOI) is a string of numbers and letters assigned to electronic resources like online journal articles & eBooks. Not every electronic resource has a DOI. Like a barcode, this string of numbers and letters is specific to a single resource and can be used to find the object on the internet. DOIs are also used in citations, in place of a URL.
