Upgrade StorageCrossRef Integration, Find DOIs
Hey all,
many journals request DOIs, yet many sources (like adding to the Zotero Bib from Google Scholar) don't natively provide them.
There is an easy solution, which is crossref.org, where you can paste a reference list and get all DOIs.
If you need to add DOIs to a large number of entries, then it is a lot of work to
1. manually format reference list with DOIs that crossref returns or
2. manually add all the DOIs that crossref returns in plaintext to the Zotero bib.
But you can also submit XML data to crossref (http://www.crossref.org/guestquery at the bottom) and receive the DOIs. It would be best, if Zotero had a feature to "add DOI from crossref" which queries crossref with the present data and adds the missing DOI. It could maybe also work the other way around, or to double-check that the present data is correct.
I couldn't find a similar feature request via Google, so here's hoping some others would like this too :-)

The reverse has been discussed, and I think it may happen some day. We all know that it would be nice to have ways to complete or correct metadata in a semi-automatic way, but I don't think anyone has worked on it so far.
