Hi If a full reference is adequate to produce a DOI, if available, then doesn't that mean that the DOI is redundant and unnecessary to find the article? The rationale for this requirement really escapes me, which leaves one in the unfortunate position of having to say to students: "do it because the APA Style guide says to do it." On an empirical note, is there any evidence that people were retrieving incorrect articles given the information available in past editions?

It is a website that allows you to enter a list of reference, and if gives you back the references with all available DOI numbers appended: http://www.crossref.org/SimpleTextQuery/ Chris -- Christopher D.
