When I click on the “open” button next to the DOI of an entry it opens a web browser to the address [https://doi.org/[DOI]](https://doi.org/%5BDOI%5D), which then redirects to the article website. In order to access articles in subscription-based journals, my institution has a shortcut that involves modifying the address to the doi site (e.g. for my institution it is [https://doi-org.ezproxy.lib.uts.edu.au/[DOI]](https://doi-org.ezproxy.lib.uts.edu.au/%5BDOI%5D)). Is it possible to modify the website address that the DOI “open” button defaults to?

you can add a custom DOI base uri

That’s perfect. Thank you !

Unfortunately, I could not promote your post as the correct answer (or did not know how to) neither could mark the thread as ‘solved’.

Have a nice day.
