#368 Configurable DOI gateway option

[Peter Ansell]

Hi,

My university has a dx.doi.org gateway that gives me certified access to the different journals for fulltext access.

Would it be possible to make the doi address that is used configurable so that I can take advantage of this functionality?

Cheers,

Peter Ansell

The prefix is currently defined in Globals.java and used twice in Util.java

If the following key were to be added to the user preferences:

<entry key="doilookupprefix" value="http://dx.doi.org.ezp01.library.qut.edu.au/"></entry>

and the references in Util.java changed from:

Globals.DOI_LOOKUP_PREFIX

to:

Globals.prefs.get("doilookupprefix")

then the value would be configurable.

If you want to support users changing it with the GUI then the option would have to be added somewhere in the preferences panels.

Cheers,

Peter

I'd like to add support for this request, also because the doi lookup website that is built in is not very good.

This one is better:
http://doi-to-bibtex.herokuapp.com/submit

But making it configurable would be better still.

As far as I know, this is realized via IP subnets for most of the universities now.
