Linking to the Appropriate Copy, Report of a DOI-Based Prototype

Abstract

There has been an explosive growth in the number of scholarly journals available in electronic form over the Internet. As e-journal systems move past the pains of initial implementation, designers have begun to explore the power of the new environment and to add functionality impossible in the world of paper-based journals. Probably the single most important such development has been reference linking, the ability to link automatically from the references in one paper to the referred-to articles.
