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.

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.
