What it does

Written by AI from the README

Looks up full DOIs or shortDOIs for selected items through Crossref and the shortDOI service, and checks stored DOIs, marking invalid ones. Also strips prefixes such as doi: and publisher URLs from the DOI field.

Items often lack a DOI or carry a malformed one. A fork of bwiernik/zotero-shortdoi; its README doesn't say what it changes.

How we pick these

By how closely what they do matches this plugin, using descriptions and the phrases people search with. Copies and forks of this plugin are listed under Forks and copies instead. No plugin pays to appear here.

Forks and copies

Fork of bwiernik/zotero-shortdoi.

2 other plugins use the same ID as this one. Every Zotero plugin carries an ID, a name tag Zotero uses to tell plugins apart. These 3 plugins carry the same one, because people copied Zotero Memento to make their own versions and kept its ID.Show what this means
  • You can only have one. Zotero sees them as the same plugin.
  • Installing another replaces it. If you install one of the others, it takes this one's place.
  • Check what you install. Several share this plugin's name, so make sure the file comes from the one you meant.

Your review is public, under the name you give, and published with the directory's data under CC BY 4.0. Links are removed.
