Published interviews generally follow the patterns of the document types they are published within. References to interviews consulted online can include a DOI or a URL. If allocated, the DOI is the preferred electronic resource identifier. Note that a DOI may have the form of a URL. If so, it is included in full. The Chicago Manual of Style does not require that access dates be included in references to formally published electronic and online sources. However, students may be required to include them for assessment tasks.
