DOI Formating service (citeproc)

An online tool for formatting DOIs from a DataCite, CrossRef, mEDRA, and in various styles. It allows user to format DOIs bilbiographic information in the desired format. It uses content negotiation to get the "application/vnd.citationstyles.csl+json" representation of a DOI. With the default dx.doi.org resolver this is supported by all DataCite and CrossRef DOIs.
