Template:doi

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used on approximately 29,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

The link in this template goes to a redirect page instead of to the article that is the target of the redirect. This redirect link is intentional so that links using the template are distinguishable from links to the article on the Special:WhatLinksHere/Digital object identifier page.

This template produces a simple, standardized link to a digital object identifier (DOI).

Usage

{{doi|10.1016/j.coi.2004.08.001}}

which produces:

doi:10.1016/j.coi.2004.08.001

If the doi is freely-accessible, you can tag it as free with |doi-access=free

{{doi|10.1038/495426a|doi-access=free}}

which produces:

doi:10.1038/495426a

For instructions on how to use Wikipedia to automatically expand a DOI into a full reference complete with article title, author(s), date, journal name, volume, issue, page numbers, etc., please see User:Citation bot/use.

To mark a DOI accessible to the general public, use |doi-access=free.

When a doi is valid but the template shows an error message, use ((..)) accept-as-written markup to suppress the error message.
