Automatic recognition of PMID or DOI
Often when I write a document I don't want to deal with any reference software so I just put the Pubmed ID (PMID) or doi (digital object identifier) in parenthesis in text in the document. Then later I go back with Zotero or Endnote Web and see what document I wanted to reference there, add this to my library, and then insert the reference. Do you know of any way or any software to automatically recognize PMIDs or DOIs within a bunch of text and then put the appropriate references there?
Thanks for any help and information you have to offer me!

Why do you not want to use a reference management software? Zotero's citation inserting dialog is probably a lot faster to use (at least with keyboard shortcuts) than typing or copy pasting DOIs to the document.
