A DOI® name differs from commonly used Internet pointers to material such as the URL, because it identifies an object as a first-class entity, not simply the place where the object is located. The DOI System also differs from standard identifier registries such as the International Standard Book Number (ISBN), International Standard Recording Code (ISRC), etc., because it can be associated with defined services and is immediately actionable on a network.
From the DOI Fact Sheets
Newer Journal articles often provide the DIO at the top of the article.
DOIs can be searched in databases and in Goggle Scholar
