A citation is a short description of a resource that is used in a paper or project.  Whenever you refer to or quote someone else's work, you must cite that source in your paper.  All the sources you use will be compiled into a list at the end.  This is called a Bibliography, Reference List, or Works Cited. 

APA CHECKLIST : From Indiana Weslayan Jackson Library.  This is a summarized list of APA details. 

Sample APA Paper : From the Owl at Purdue Univeristy.

Depending on the style, a citation will include title, author, date, page numbers, publisher, place of publication, etc.

Order of Author's names in a work with multiple authors 2.02 page 24   "the names of the authors should appear in the order of their contributions..." Which means that you as a writer keep the order of the names exactly as they are in the original citation.

What is a DOI?

The digital object identifier (DOI) is a unique identifier for citation linking services for scientific publishing in the digital world. It is another way for people to find things in the digital environment so it is helpful to include it in a citation if it is available.

APA recommends that you include this DOI when it is available for both print and electronic sources.  Some of the automatic citation makers include this and some do not. 

See the journal example with a DOI included on page 198 of the APA 6th edition.  

The web site called Crossref.org is a place where you can look up the DOI number for articles and include them in your citation.
