Aug 3, 2017 at 15:37 comment added jiggunjer Nvm I think my reference manager tricked me. I scraped a reference using only the DOI, and it found a pubmed URL. Turns out it didn't resolve the actual DOI as I thought it would. But since pubmed often seems to offer multiple options for downloading, wouldn't it be a good idea for a DOI?
Aug 3, 2017 at 9:15 comment added Joe Do you have an example of a DOI pointing to a Pubmed page?
Aug 3, 2017 at 7:09 comment added jiggunjer So how come some DOIs point to e.g. a pubmed entry? wouldn't it make more (financial) sense for the publisher to directly link to their site?
