DOIs, URLs & Permalinks:

DOIs (digital object identifier) typically begin with the number 10, and should always be preceded by https://doi.org/ in your works cited entry
URLS do not require http:// or https://, but the protocol may be included if you need it to create a clickable link (or hyperlink)
Not all URLs display www; copy the URL as displayed in the address bar
If an article provides a permalink (a stable, permanent, or persistent link) use that in your entry instead of the URL in the address bar
See pages 194-96 (sections 5.93-5.98) in the MLA Handbook for more on URLs, DOIs and permalinks
