Access the Victoria University APA Referencing Guide.
A basic reference list entry for a journal article in APA must include:

DOI (Digital Object Identifer) provides a persistent electronic link to a journal article or e-book. APA referencing style requires the DOI (where available ) to be included in the Reference List citation.
