Extension Usage Instructions

                        Use this extension to quickly resolve DOI and ShortDOI codes via any one of several methods: extension button, right-click on selected text, or omnibox with keyword: doi.

DOI Resolver packs some great additional features, too:
1) Generate QR codes which can be scanned by smartphones to share a publication
2) Automatically convert DOI codes on web pages into links (optional)
3) Specify your own DOI resolver URL (useful if your institution provides a proxy service)
4) Generate formatted citations for publications

I take your privacy seriously. No user data is collected by this extension and no information is sent back to the author.

This is an open source project. Feel free to adapt the extension to your needs! https://github.com/mdmower/doi-resolver-chrome

Omnibox usage: Type doi and press the space key. Now you can input a DOI code and press enter to retrieve the web destination.

FAQ:
Q1) Can I get DOI Resolver to automatically resolve DOI codes when I enter them in the Omnibox?
A1) The Omnibox API from google prohibits extensions from hijacking input until a keyword is typed (in this case 'doi'). Really, it's better this way; otherwise, rogue extensions would all be fighting to take control of the Omnibox.
