DOI Lookup

A web app to look up research articles. In addition to providing basic information about articles, the main focus of the tool is to show the relationship between articles. Available at doi.kaikitagawajones.com.

The main focus of the tool is to show relationships (citations and references) between articles, as shown below. This information is provided by the OpenCitations Indexes unifying REST API.

Basic information about the article is shown using data provided by the Crossref REST API. Easy-to-copy citations are also provided in plaintext, BibTeX, and RIS. The citation text is taken directly from doi.org. This document provides a good explanation of how this process works.

The web app was implemented in vanilla JavaScript without the use of any frameworks.
