Cite a Reference Using DOI



Subject: Citing articles, references, online content
Source: Sciencedirect.com

My review/ insights:
Create a DOI to cite references from science sources on the internet. Using a DOI object will allow your reference links to continue working without ever changing. This is good news for online databases (We know online databases of all kinds contain at least some dead links [changed or deleted links]). See this example to learn how you can get started using DOI object links:

DOI... Cite or Link to online content!

World Languages Book



Looking for a good book of reference for language studies? Well, you may just find it here. Freely view 654 pages of the Concise Compendium of the World's Languages, by George L. Campbell, on Google. The book is free to browse inside if you visit this Google link.

You may purchase the book here.
To purchase in a country outside of the U.S., follow here.

My recommendation is to purchase a Kindle Reader. You need only pay $64.00 for the Kindle book version. Download books almost instantly to a Kindle Reader, and still have the look and feel (almost) of a real book. The benefit is not only the price reduction in a book, but the convenience of downloading a book from the privacy of your office/ home, and avoiding the riff raff at Barnese and Nobles. You decide, though I hope you'll keep the electronic world of books in mind for future consideration.
