The Web address or URL of online journal articles may change or become invalid over time. An author can best address this issue in citations by:
  1. Including the source's digital object identifier (DOI).
  2. Bookmarking the websites in the Web browser.
  3. Keeping a record of when the source was accessed.
  4. Downloading and printing a copy of the online resource.
Explanation
Correct Response: A. When available, a DOI should be used in citations instead of a URL. This is because a DOI is static and will never change over time. B is incorrect because a bookmark will become invalid if the URL changes. C is incorrect because the date of last access is not helpful after a URL has changed. D is incorrect because the printed copy will not be accessible from the online journal.
