icon. A window will open, and go to detailed record.

This will take you to another page. Scroll down to the bottom until you see the phrase:
Digital Object Identifier.

The DOI will be in the format of a website, so in this case:


http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10460-014-9564-9 you can either use this entire code or just
the section after .org/ which in this case is: 10.1007/s10460-014-9564-9
Note: not all Ebsco articles will have a DOI.
