Possibility of getting metadata from journals published in China with DOIs

DWL-SDCA · June 3, 2020

See:
https://doi.org/10.3868/j.issn.2095-1566.2019.01.001

Is there a DOI registry that handles this journal, Injury Medicine.

Thank you.

There's a registry (CNKI -- you actually can't have a DOI without a registry), but while they claim a metadata API, we haven't gotten it to work, so currently that's a no, I'm afraid. Since it's the 3rd largest registration agency (I think) I'd love to get this to work, of course.

Thanks. I wish that CNKI would improve.

@adamsmith: Is this actually CNKI? That DOI doesn't resolve from https://kns.cnki.net/kcms/detail/detail.aspx?doi=10.3868/j.issn.2095-1566.2019.01.001.

Yeah, that's a ITSIC/WangFang DOI: https://doi.org/10.3868

Huh, I never you could do that. (That answers my question from https://github.com/zotero/translators/pull/2084#issuecomment-638368526.)

I stumbled upon it accidentally one day. It’s been very helpful.

DWL-SDCA · June 3, 2020

Should this discussion lead me to be optimistic?

Only very cautiously and likely not in the short term (and also not for that particular DOI -- as bwiernik points out, that's registered by ISTIC and we don't know anything about getting their data at all.
