Journal articles are seen as printed if they have a volume number, and electronic when the pagination of the full-text journal article differs from its printed equivalent, or is not supplied at all, or is only in HTML format. It is important to indicate to your reader which format of the journal you are using.
A DOI is a unique number used by publishers to identify electronic articles, but not all articles have a DOI. If there is a DOI, the URL is not needed, but if the article does not have a DOI, you need to add the URL.
In some cases, the article has only been submitted for publication but is not published yet, which will influence how you reference the journal article.
