Not all databases provide permanent links to articles.  They may however, include DOI numbers in the article records that provide a unique, persistent link to internet content.  They include a prefix and a suffix, separated by a slash, and always begin with the number 10, for example, 10.1000/123456. 

The example below provides instructions on finding DOI numbers in Sage Journals Online and modifying them for off-campus access.

Other databases and eJournals also provide a DOI number, often on the first page of the journal article or listed with the article citation in the database or journal's table of contents.  These include:

• Web of Science
  
• Science Direct
• Oxford University Press
• Wiley
• Springer
• Emerald

STEP 1:

Click the abstract link in the article record.

STEP 2:

STEP 3:

Convert the DOI number to a URL in your browser's address box by adding the following prefix: 0-dx.doi.org.libus.csd.mu.edu/  followed by the DOI number and hit enter.
