Dear Tipsters, Thanks to Chris for the explanation. This helps.
As I noted in a previous post, it would be helpful if APA explained their
reasoning for many of the recommendations. I would not expect them to add to
the length of the manual, but it could easily be set out on their website.
Sincerely,
Stuart

APA could have several uses for DOIs.
I didn't realize that there was any confusion about this. Someone from APA
publishing explained it to me a couple of years ago during the question period
of a talk I gave for Div 2. The reason APA decided to include DOI number is
that more and more (and eventually all) journal articles will be online.
However, over the years, the URLs for those articles will change (as companies
are bought out by other ones, companies redesign their websites, etc.). The DOI
numbers, however, will remain the same, enabling one to find the articles years
later, when it has passed through a half dozen or more URLs, but always has the
same DOI in the metadata.
It is a little irritation from the author's end, but will become increasingly
useful from the readers' end as the years go by.
