~~When a reference in APA or Chicago ends with a URL or a DOI (see below), do not use a final period.

~~~A DOI (digital object identifier) is a unique string of numbers and/or letters given to a journal article or other document. This number indicates a permanent location and can replace a URL (when available). This number may be lurking beneath a button labeled "Article," "Cross-Ref," "PubMed," or with another full-text database name.

*If a DOI is assigned, instead of "Retrieved from URL," use "Retrieved doi: string of numbers and/or letters"

**References of this type include Wikipedia or one of the subject wikis (i.e., the Rochester Wiki)
