| Jan 20, 2012 at 14:08 | comment | added | Zelda | On occasion I've found articles that do have cannonical DOIs but certain reproductions of them do not have the DOIs included. Some people also might not know what they are as well. | |

Of course, the status is when applicable (as many sources, being non peer-reviewed articles, does not have one). | |
