A browser extension to resolve DOIs (digital object identifiers) to their web destinations. Available at:

Features

  • Resolve DOIs and ShortDOIs via:
    • Extension button
    • Selected text context menu
    • Address bar with keyword: doi
      Address bar usage: Type doi and press space. Now you can input a DOI and press enter to navigate to the web destination.
  • Maintain a history of visited DOIs along with their automatically fetched titles
  • Generate QR codes which can be scanned by smart phones to share a publication
  • Generate formatted citations for publications
  • Automatically convert DOIs on web pages into links
  • Use your own DOI resolver URL – useful if your institution provides a proxy service

npm install

Available npm scripts:

  • npm run lint - Lint source using eslint
  • npm run format - Format source using prettier
