DOI: Always include the DOI if available as the mode of access. For ebooks from library databases that do NOT have a DOI, include the name of the database instead. For ebooks accessed directly online (i.e. not through a database) with no DOI, give the URL. For ebooks read on a device, include the name of the device.
When citing an ebook that does not have fixed page numbers, use a chapter number, section heading or another reference marker in the footnote.
ABOUT THE DOI: the current preferred format for ALL DOI hyperlinks uses https://doi.org/ as the prefix. Older works may use previous formats (e.g., “http:/dx.doi.org/” or “doi:” or “DOI:” before the DOI number). Standardize all your DOI hyperlinks into the current preferred format in your reference list
