What is a DOI?
A Digital Object Identifier, or DOI, is a unique code/series of numbers used to identify an electronic resource and provide a reliable link to its location online. A DOI looks similar to a URL but unlike URLs, which can change or stop working entirely, a DOI is a permanent link to a particular resource.

However, DOIs should only be presented as follows:
https://doi.org/10.456.789
Do this for all DOIs, including ones that look like https://dx.doi.org/123.456.789 or DOI: 123.456.789.
