Summary: Some DOI hyperlinks fail

Initial Comment:
Search for author 'Lutzoni' - several of the rows have DOI links that go to http://dx.doi.org without the actual DOI appended. The "http://dx.doi.org" link is provided for all non-NULL values, however when users enter citation information in which the DOI entry is left blank, the field is filled with "blank" rather than NULL. Hence a hyperlink to nowhere is displayed. Either the entry form should be designed to enter NULL for blank values, or the hyperlink should not be presented to users when the DOI is blank. If the latter solution, this can probably be fixed in the jsp by testing (<c:if/>) for the ${variable} yields false for null and empty string:

treebase-web/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/pages/search/studyList.jsp (line 48 indeed tests for null instead of true)
