- RyJones 6y agoI came across DOIs for the first time last week, when I saw a badge on a webpage.
- bravura 6y agoAnd yet apparently, it still works. (source: I just created one and looked it up on doi.org)
- hobofan 6y ago> as aliases for existing DOI names, which are often very long strings. Probably because the problem it tries to solve is mostly a non-problem in practice. I've hardly ever seen "very long" DOIs. In fact most I encounter on a day to day basis are so short that you could reasonably spell them out loud if you'd have to. EDIT: Okay, it's better than I expected. It currently gives you a 4 character id (e.g. https://doi.org/f655 https://doi.org/f655), which is so short that e.g. one would quickly copy it from a presentation slide.
- silizium 6y agoSome Wiley DOIs are ridiculous long and ugly. For those i use shortDOI. IEEE DOIs seem fine.
- habi 6y agoI personally use it whenever I give a presentation, to cite a scientific work. Makes copying the reference much easier for the audience and helps to reduce clutter...
