DataCite as well as CrossRef for DOI

grolimur

Dear all,

At the moment, Zotero is based on CrossRef to get references from the DOI (with the Magic Wand). CrossRef gathers DOi from commercial publications.

My question is: Is there any plan to add DataCite to the Magic Wand function so that we can get the same with academic non-profit DOI (like thesis, digitized documents, etc.)?

As far as I know, there are no other database than CrossRef and DataCite that gather DOI. And it would be great to have access to all the DOI world...

Thanks.

We are working on integrating DataCite and other DOI registration agencies (http://www.doi.org/registration_agencies.html), but in my experience so far, I have not seen papers with DataCite-issued DOIs. According to the doi.org page and datacite, they are more focused on datasets. Could you provide us with a couple examples of papers that do contain DataCite DOIs?

Good news!
Here are two examples from two differents sources used at EPFL:

1) 10.5169/seals-80025
2) 10.3929/ethz-a-006490351

The first one comes from retro.seals.ch (platform of retrodigitized journals).
The second one is a swiss PhD thesis.

Both have an entry and metadata available from Datacite:

1) http://search.datacite.org/ui?&q=10.5169/seals-80025
2) http://search.datacite.org/ui?&q=10.3929/ethz-a-006490351

EPFL PhD theses will soon be available on DataCite. And it would be great if we could say to our students "you can add EPFL theses in one click".

It seems that the integration of DataCite is still pending? Me too I would be very pleased if I could integrate the articles of retro.seals.ch (ETH Zurich) and others by the DOI-Number into Zotero.

that's correct, we have a patch waiting to get merged in that will support a wider range of DOI repositories including DataCite
