This is great, especially custom DOI resolver, if it can rewrite doi in pdf this would be even better!

Very well done. I've been using it for about 10 minutes now and haven't encountered a bug, which is more than I can say for most of my own code. It's such a simple thing but it streamlines the research process so much.
