Metadata for list of DOIs?

geneticmaize
New Zotero user here, any help is appreciated :)
I have a list of papers with incorrect citation information (misspellings, etc). I put the DOIs into a format that I could import into Zotero. Now that I have those DOIs as records in Zotero, is there a way to have Zotero automatically pull the metadata from CrossRef or other sources, just as it automatically pulls the metadata from the PDFs?

    I'm not sure what you mean by this:
    I put the DOIs into a format that I could import into Zotero.
    The way to "import" a DOI into Zotero would be by using the "Add by Identifier" function (the magic wand icon in the toolbar). You can use that for a list of DOIs, too -- just have every DOI on a new line (that's automatically the case e.g. when copying from a spreadsheet column). That will pull in metadata from Crossref etc.

    Oh my! I did not know I could just paste the DOIs in the search box like that. Thank you! Exactly what I needed.

    I spent all this time formatting them as a .bib last night so I could import them - so glad I know the right way now!
