APA requires you to include DOI numbers for information sources. DOI stands for digital object identifier. The purpose of a DOI number is to make items more easily retrievable. DOIs are typically assigned to scholarly journal articles, though assigning them is optional so they are not always available. If you cannot find a DOI number, then include a permanent URL to the item. Permanent URL links – also called persistent links or stable URLs - are available in every item’s individual database record. They are not the URLs in the address bar at the top of the webpage.
Example: Shotton, M. A. (2016). Computer addiction? A study of computer dependency [Adobe Digital Editions version]. doi:10.3648809/ade/2008
