FAQ: How can I look up an electronic material using a DOI?

There are several free DOI lookup tools available on the Web that will allow you to look up electronic material by DOI. Try Free DOI Lookup. This website allows you to paste a DOI into their search box to be taken to the electronic material associated with the DOI.

You can also convert your DOI into a web address to get to the location of the electronic material by adding http://dx.doi.org/ to the DOI and then pasting that URL into your browser's address bar. (e.g. http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/ac0354342). Try our DOI Link Generator for a quick and easy way to do this.

Note that looking up electronic material by DOI does not necessarily mean you will be able to read the full text of the article. Also, not all articles have a DOI.
