The Digital Object Identifier (DOI^®) System is for identifying content objects in the digital environment. DOI names are assigned to any entity for use on digital networks. They are used to provide current information, including where they (or information about them) can be found on the Internet. Information about a digital object may change over time, including where to find it, but its DOI name will not change.

DOIs can be used in a universal resource locator (URL) by appending the DOI to "http://dx.doi.org/". DOIs for Canadian Public Policy consist of "10.3138" (identifying the journal), followed by a forward slash ("/"), and then followed by the text "cpp.#volume.#issue.#page", where #volume, #issue, and #page are replaced with the appropriate information for the article. For example, "cpp.35.1.21" identifies the paper in volume 35, issue 1, starting on page 21. The full DOI is thus 10.3138/cpp.35.1.21, and the full URL to this paper is
http://dx.doi.org/10.3138/cpp.35.1.21.
