Support for short doi

For many texts, to save space, I use short dois. It would be great, if JabRef could automatically retrieve existing short dois, or even push dois to the shortdoi service and retrieve newly generated short dois. I could also well imagine to ask in the preferences whether short or long dois are preferred.

Or I could well imagine to use a contextual operation in which I mark several entries at once and context-click on swap long and short dois.


Please vote if you support this proposal:

  • I would like to have this feature, too!
  • I don’t care.

We have since 5.0 a ShortDOI formatter, which enables to shorten the DOI to the short DOI format.

@koppor might say more about this, it was originally one of his issues
