Open DOI link within Zotero (when a paper is already in the library)

edited January 30, 2023
Hi,

I have a suggestion. When reading a paper (in Zotero of course), I often need to look up the papers that are in the reference. But sometimes I may already have that paper in my Zotero library. So, wouldn't it be cool if I click on the DOI link and the corresponding paper automatically pops up within Zotero? This can have the following benefits:

1. Convenient.
2. Avoid users from adding duplicate papers (users may forget he/she has that paper).

Please kindly consider including this feature. Thanks!

Best regards
Yiyu
  • Yes, this is planned.
  • Thanks! Looking forward to it!
  • +1 looking forward to interlinking feature between the articles in the library. Huge QOL addition.
    Current workflow rather promotes escaping the Zotero environment and I almost always end up reading articles online, despite having them in the library. Zotero here is just the anchor or a starting point, though it has an excelent reader.
    To that, stubling upon an article of interest and trying to import it sometimes results in duplications, if the library is large. With this feature, such situation will be virtually non-existent.
