check_doi()

nealhaddaway opened this issue · comments

Check that the DOI is correct when matched against other fields for a DOI search on CrossRef (slower, open API) or Lens.org (faster, requires token). Some DOIs are wrong when taken from WoS or Scopus, so worth checking they are correct before proceeding with DOI-based functions.

Possible route:

  1. Perform DOI search on CrossRef
  2. Compare CrossRef results based on similarity scores for authors, year, title, journal, and volume
  3. Flag cases with a similarity score below a certain (evidence based?) threshold
  4. Suggest these cases are searched based on 'fuzzy matching' (i.e. title words + journal search, or similar) from lens.org
