#+TITLE: DOI utilities for making bibtex entries and downloading pdfs
This package provides functionality to download PDFs and bibtex entries from a DOI, as well as to update a bibtex entry from a DOI. It depends slightly on org-ref, to determine where to save pdf files too, and where to insert bibtex entries in the default bibliography.

* DOI functions for WOS
I came across this API http://wokinfo.com/media/pdf/OpenURL-guide.pdf to make links to the things I am interested in here. Based on that document, here are three links based on a doi:10.1021/jp047349j that take you to different Web Of Science (WOS) pages.
+* Debugging a DOI
+I wrote this function to help debug a DOI. This function generates an org-buffer with the doi, gets the json metadata, shows the bibtex entry, and the pdf link for it.

+#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle doi-utils.el
+(defun doi-utils-debug (doi)

+

* Adding a bibtex entry from a crossref query
The idea here is to perform a query on Crossref, get a helm buffer of candidates, and select the entry(ies) you want to add to your bibtex file. You can select a region, e.g. a free form citation, or set of words, or you can type the query in by hand.
