DOI in reference?

[kga1978]

Hi,

I am currently writing a paper for the Royal Society and they would like me to put the DOI in the bibliography. Is there any way to do this? I guess maybe it could be done using the custom user fields?

Thanks a bunch

If you extend the drawer of the reference window, there should already be a field for the DOI (the second from the bottom, just above PMID). I use this field to enter DOIs (either manually or, for some import filters, adding the DOI to this field works automatically). This is the case for journal articles only, I think.

I have changed one or two of my formats so that they include DOI in the bibliography output. You could do the same for the format that you use for the Royal Society. (Is there only one?) I guess some formats already use the DOI field, but I haven’t checked which…

Hi, you'd put the doi in the corresponding drawer field, as ozean pointed out. In the format, put u17 (user field 17) where you want the doi to be output.

Thanks for the replies. However, all this is manual. Since BE already has the DOIs referenced, wouldn't there be a way to do this automatically?

Thanks

Automatically put it in the bibliography? Yes, if you edit the format accordingly. If that's not what you mean, please contact tech support for help.
