- Create a DOI?
Work In Progree
- Nature seems to implement a tool for exporting articles in a .ris format (that is readable by most of the citation software : ris on wikipedia)
- Some articles cite OFF by giving the url in the article :[1], [2]
- Some cite OFF by giving the name : [3]
- Some put OFF in citations : [4]
If our objective is to have an easy way to follow the scientific article using OFF, it would be interesting to create a DOI, and propose an easy way to cite it by offering a way to download the ref in the main formats (here are those used by google scholar):
- BibTeX (wikipedia page) is a text to copy past
- EndNote wikipedia page
- RefMan wikipedia page The software is not supported any more but the .ris format is still used, and proposed by nature when clicking on "cite this article"
- RefWorks wikipedia page
