What is DOI document URL redirect or DOI Resolver?

DOI document URL redirect, also called DOI Resolver, is a Web service that redirects you to the official Website of the actual document for a given DOI. This Website is usually maintained by the publisher of the document. In many cases, the publisher displays only the abstract of the document, not the full content.

The primary provider of DOI document URL redirect service is https://dx.doi.org. You can use it in 2 ways.

1. Use the Web form - Go to https://dx.doi.org. You see the "Resolve a DOI Name" Web form. Then enter the DOI string you want to search, for example 10.1002/0470841559.ch1. Then click the "Go" button. You will be redirected to the Website of the actual document for the given DOI.

2. Use the Web service directly - Compose a new URL by appending the DOI string to the end of https://dx.doi.org/, for example https://dx.doi.org/10.1002/0470841559.ch1. Then enter this URL in the address field of Web browser. You will be redirected to the Website of the actual document for the given DOI.

By the way, https://doi.org offers the same function as https://dx.doi.org. So the shortest URL for a DOI document is "https://doi.org/{doi}".
