DOI Resolver Extension

Use this extension to quickly resolve DOI and ShortDOI codes via any one of several methods: extension button, right-click on selected text, or omnibox with keyword: doi.

DOI Resolver packs some great additional features, too:
1) Generate QR codes which can be scanned by smartphones to share a publication
2) Automatically convert DOI codes on web pages into links (optional)
3) Specify your own DOI resolver URL (useful if your institution provides a proxy service)
4) Generate formatted citations for publications
5) Maintain a history of viewed DOIs

No user data is collected by this extension and no information is sent back to the author.

This is an open source project. https://github.com/mdmower/doi-resolver

Omnibox usage: Type doi and press the space key. Now you can input a DOI code and press enter to retrieve the web destination.

Nick Porter (ID: 00000032385d104e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/08/2021 Very well done. I've been using it for about 10 minutes now and haven't encountered a bug, which is more than I can say for most of my own code. It's such a simple thing but it streamlines the research process so much.

Mauricio Maluff Masi (ID: 00000086554f6174) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/21/2020 This extension probably saves me about a day each year in time looking for articles in my university's library website.

Jitte Groothuis (ID: 0000006e0932ccad) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/05/2018 Works like a charm, except that I feel that the extension should know to ignore e.g. "DOI: " in front of a DOI. Such text is often selected automatically when using double-click to select the DOI (easier than dragging the cursor, where it's easy to miss the first or last character). Edit: upgraded to 5 stars after implementation of suggestion!

Viktor Nilsson (ID: 000000c09553e40a) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/27/2017 I see that you've recently added automatic stripping of DOI: but it does not seem to be case-insensitive for me... (works when changed to lowercase, not when changed back to uppercase) I would prefer if it could work using the address bar instead, but I see why it's not possible. Right now, it's likely as fast to google the string and hit first result.

Alexander Zintler (ID: 000000b5e008cc75) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/15/2017 Thanks so much, this extension is so useful while searching for literature.
