I am using WIREs style, and they require that I include the DOI in my bibliography.&nbsp; I have it in nearly every reference in my EndNote library, but it doesn’t get pulled into the bibliography.

I am using Windows 8.1, Office 2010 Professional Version, and EndNote X7.

Thanks.

The DOI field is probably not appearing in the bibliography because the field is not included in the bibliography template of your Endnote output style file. If the DOI field is inserted then the template would generate entries that display the field. Which output style are you using and can you attach it?

I’ve already added the DOI field to the target style and clicked the “update citations and bibliography” button, unfortunately, the DOI fails to appear in the reference as per the screenshot below

What could be the issue here?

The DOI still fails to appear in the references list, even though all other fields—such as Author, Year, Title, Journal, Volume, and Pages—are displayed correctly.

What could be the issue?

I have chosen the “APA 7th” style; nevertheless, the DOI is not displayed as expected.

What could be the issue here?
