Lookup by Digital Object Identifier (DOI)

A DOI is a string that uniquely identifies electronic documents, e.g. 10.1126/science.279.5358.1913.
PasteREF automatically discovers if the search field contains a DOI.
Thus, you can simply lookup the DOI by pasting the DOI into the search field and hit "Search".

PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science etc.

Search results from PubMed, Scopus or Web of Science will usually show the DOI for the records.
Copy-paste this DOI to PasteREF and you will find the reference.

Lookup by title
