IMPORTANT:
The NIC electronic databases will include both old and new DOI formats and currently, both are considered correct APA Style; however, APA recommends picking one format to use consistently throughout a reference list. To adhere to the newest guidelines and maintain consistency, remove doi: or http://dx.doi.org/ and add https://doi.org/ in front of the doi number. For more information, visit Introduction to DOI.
