What is a Digital Object Identifier (DOI)?
A Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is a unique identifier assigned to articles on publisher websites. Its purpose is to ensure that the content can be easily found and accessed, even if web addresses change. It acts as a reliable and consistent tag that facilitates the location and referencing of online resources. DOIs are widely used in academic and professional settings as they provide a stable link to scholarly articles and other digital content.
Example: 10.1186/s12898-019-0263-7 or https://doi.org/10.1186/s12898-019-0263-7
What is a PubMed Identifier (PMID)?
A PubMed Identifier, also known as a PMID, is a unique number assigned to an article in the PubMed database, a popular resource for biomedical and life sciences literature. This number acts like a digital fingerprint, making it easy for researchers, students, and healthcare professionals to identify and locate a particular article. The PMID is a useful tool for quickly referencing a specific study or paper in the vast amount of medical literature available on PubMed.
