Features & Capabilities

DOI Resolver is a powerful Chrome extension designed for researchers, academics, and anyone who frequently works with digital object identifiers (DOIs). It allows you to quickly resolve DOI and ShortDOI codes through multiple convenient methods: using the add-on button, right-clicking on selected text, or typing a DOI after the "doi" keyword in the address bar.

Beyond simple resolution, DOI Resolver offers useful features such as generating QR codes for easy sharing of publications, automatic linking of DOI codes on web pages, customizable DOI resolver URLs (ideal for institutional proxy services), formatted citation generation for publications, and a history tracker for viewed DOIs. Privacy-conscious users will appreciate that no user data is collected or sent back. Being open-source, it invites transparency and user contributions. Experience hassle-free access to academic resources and streamline your referencing workflow with DOI Resolver.

Is DOI Resolver Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

DOI Resolver requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
  • High Allows reading and modifying clipboard content, which can be sensitive, posing a moderate privacy risk.
  • Low ****** ***** ** ******* ****** ********** **** ** ** ******** ******* ** **** ***** *************
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

DOI Resolver is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
