I'm writing a document in LaTeX (in Visual Studio Code using LaTeX Workshop extension) and using natbib for bibliography. The problem is in the bibliography it doesn't show the DOI, even for \bibliographystyle{apa}.

I have tried loading doi and url before and after natbib and I have tried to make the output by both pdflatex -> bibtex -> pdflatex*2 and latexmk.

This is how the entry in the .bib file:

   @article{Drury2005,
abstract = {blah blah blah.},
author = {Drury, John and Cocking, Christopher and Beale, Joseph and Hanson, Charlotte and Rapley, Faye},
doi = {10.1348/014466604X18523},
isbn = {2044-8309},
issn = {01446665},
journal = {British Journal of Social Psychology},
number = {3},
pages = {309--328},
pmid = {16238842},
title = {{The phenomenology of empowerment in collective action}},
volume = {44},
year = {2005}
}

Any ideas how to handle this? Thanks in advance.

    apa.bst dates back to 1992 a few years before the DOI system was introduced. You need to use a style that can handle DOIs.

    The styles of the urlbst bundle know the DOI. So do several other more modern .bst styles such as apacite (should be used with the apacite package and tries to implement full APA style), din1505's styles also know DOIs. .bst files produced by cursom-bib can also support DOIs.

  • Thanks @moewe, the apacite works well. I needed the DOI to become a hyperlink but I could do it by defining this command \newcommand*{\doi}[1]{\href{http://dx.doi.org/#1}{#1}} before \begin{document} (taken from here). The only problem remaining is the space after the colon and before the DOI string (as in "doi: 10.1348/014466604X18523") which shouldn't be there according to the APA style. Playing with .bst file didn't seem to be easy. Any idea how to handle that?

If you are using Lyx, you need the "Natbibapa" module – you can enable it in the document settings. After I enabled the module every problem I previously had with bibliographies disappeard!

N.B. I think you should use the "apacite" style for bibliography if you follow my advice.
