When preparing a reference for a book or an article retrieved from an electronic database, follow the same style guidelines as you would for a print book or article.
You do not have to include information for the electronic database as this information may change over time, or the database itself may be inaccessible to the reader of your paper.
Include the DOI if one is available.
If you cannot find a DOI for the document, you should include a URL for the publisher's website to assist the reader in locating a copy of the publication.
Information required for an electronic database reference includes:
