How do i add Digital Object Identifier (DOI number) into my bibliography - APA 6th style?

Question

Hello all,

Basically im using the word on office 365 (on mac)  to reference my academic work. The problem I am facing is that DOI number is not appearing in my bibliography.

I am inserting the DOI number under 'standard number' within the source itself. 

How do I get it to appear in my bibliography?

Many thanks

Answer 1

My understanding is that a doi should be included with the Pages info, in this manner:

14-32. doi:75765.78/66729090

Answer 2

This very good to know and it works!  I just recently added a similar question.  I wish there was a actual place for the DOI instead of in pages since DOI has become important in APA.  It could be al little more user friendly.   

The other question I had was that if a DIO doesn't exist you are supposed to add the web site it was located if the journal was located on the web.  Within the "Article in Journal" drop down there is no place to include a website.  However, as I was testing your solution, I found that I could add all pertinent info in the journal drop down then switch over the "Document from website" add in the web information, switch back to "Article in Journal" and the website is now listed on the bibliography.  This is great!  I wish it was a little more user friendly for APA, but it is what it is.  

The only other item I found that needs to be fixed (not a big deal) is that in APA "References" is used and not "Works Cited" or "Bibliography."  

Thanks!!
