DOI numbers (Digital Object Identifiers) are unique number combinations assigned to an article. With the help of this DOI number the article can always be located.
The numbers consist of:
numbers assigned to the publisher (in the example used below these are 10.1016)
the journal title (j.fertnstert or the Journal of Fertility and Sterility)
some numbers that define the actual article
Steps to create article links for DOIs
Step 1:
Identify the DOI for the article you want to link to. You may find this on the browse/search results list, on the bibliographic/abstract page or in the full text article itself (e.g. ScienceDirect)
Step 2:
Copy the "doi" link into your target file, .e.g: doi:10.1016/j.foodcont.2006.06.014
Step 3:
Remove "doi:" from your step 2 doi link. Don't forget to remove the colon and any space between the colon and the string! You should be left with a numerical/letter string, e.g.: 10.1016/j.foodcont.2006.06.014
Step 4:
Insert the following script before the string: https://ezproxy.app.willamette.edu/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/
