CrossRef currently provides three ways for you to locate a DOI.

  • If you have bibliographic data for a item and would like to find the DOI, please use the metadata section of ths form.
  • If you only have an article title and author, please use the article title search section of this form.
  • If you have the text of a bibliographic reference, please use our automatic parsing service described at the bottom of this page.

  Automatic parsing of a normal reference

CrossRef now supports DOI retrieval from untagged references. As a publisher or a researcher, you can simply cut and paste your references, which will then be parsed and processed. DOIs for any items that find a match in our system will be returned. Please try it out at http://www.crossref.org/SimpleTextQuery/ and let us know what you think.
