DATABASE NAMED

Seneca Libraries: When there is no DOI, Seneca Libraries suggests that the database name be used.

Students are writing research papers for academic purposes and submission, which is different than researchers submitting for publication. Therefore, noting the database makes sense in our environment. Many academic libraries make this same recommendation.
