Well, this is how far I got with it over the weekend. I used the simple text query service on Crossref: https://apps.crossref.org/SimpleTextQuery It helped me to automatically identify DOIs for at least some of my articles. Not a huge amount though.

Once I have added a DOI to the record, is there a way of refreshing that record with newer data from Crossref?

David.

Hi Everyone,

I have some old Eprints that I have found DOIs for. It’s easy to add the DOI to the eprint, but is there a smart way of replacing the patchy metadata of these old Eprints with the better quality metadata that’s stored in Crossref for those particular DOIs?

Thanks,
