I am almost certain that there is no such option, nevertheless I wanted to ask:
Does OJS3 with DOI plugin a feature to use an assigned DOI in the path to an article?
To give an example: instead of the default path using the submission id, e.g., /article/view/50 the path would be something like /article/view/10.1007/s10506-020-09268-y.
I am aware that there is an option to manually configure article paths but I wonder whether there might be an automatic option to use a route like /article/view/{doi} in case a DOI has been assigned, either in the native article handler or provided by the DOI plugin by any chance.
Thanks for your post. I had a look through past forum posts and the plugin gallery: GitHub - pkp/plugin-gallery: The Plugin Gallery for the Public Knowledge Project - two likely places where any indication of a plugin of such a nature would appear, and didn’t find anything. That’s not to say that there’s not something there out in the wild, but I would suspect if it did exist it is not widely known. It’s an interesting idea though. I’m not sure what would be involved in creating such a plugin, but I have flagged this post as a “Feature Request” in case any developers wish to comment as to how feasible it might be to develop something like this.
While this would be a neat approach to generating unique URLs, I have ben told it is considered a bad practice and discouraged by DOI institutions. You are not supposed to use the DOI in a URL — only the DOI resolving authorities are supposed to do that.
