Citing an Online Database
I'm trying to cite the website Amphibian Species of the World, which describes itself as an online database. The citation that it recommends is:
Frost, Darrel R. 2025. Amphibian Species of the World: an Online Reference. Version 6.2 (Date of access). Electronic Database accessible at https://amphibiansoftheworld.amnh.org/index.php. American Museum of Natural History, New York, USA. doi.org/10.5531/db.vz.0001
Obviously, some of these fields are available when inputting a source as a website, but I am struggling to work out how I would also include the place of publication and the DOI.
Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks in advance :)

adamsmithI wouldn't feel particularly constrained by the recommended citations -- what is the point of citing the place of publication of an online database, e.g.? -- but you should be able to get most of this by adding it as a dataset
