DOI for material science an engineering a

Katrus99 · January 28, 2015

I have trouble with the citation style.
I'd like to have the DOI in the references.

http://www.elsevier.com/journals/materials-science-and-engineering-a/0921-5093/guide-for-authors#20300

I have also trouble with conference proceedings. I dont get the conference title.

Can anybody help me?

I don't see that we'd have this style listed and they don't appear to have any preferences for a style used in submission anyway. You could just submit using https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=Elsevier (numeric, with titles) (the top one) which is a standard Elsevier style which does include the DOI.

I made that (dependent) style (note the typo in the title here, though) and the one it points to:
https://www.zotero.org/styles/materials-science-and-engineering-a

At the time, the author guidelines did not ask for a DOI.

Still not required. The guidelines state

Use of DOI is highly encouraged

But the doi is not used in ANY of the examples the author guidelines give.

we talked to Elsevier -- they want DOIs (their own .bst styles have them, too). We can add them to w/o titles version of the style.

This would be nice if you can do so.
