Link directly from text to DOI or web

Post by yurtle »

Howdy,

Is it possible to have a clickable link (Yurtle, et al 2020) go directly to the DOI? I would still have a bibliography, but when reading the PDF, it would be cool if someone could just go to the article directly. I have done some searching, but have not found this question yet. All of my references have DOIs. Thanks in advance.

It depends on your bibliography style file, of course, but if your style file displays the DOI at all, many times adding the hyperref package is enough to hyperlink all DOIs in the bibliography. It will also hyperlink citations, footnotes, etc. to the location they refer to; in this case, clicking on the citation would take you to the bibliography, and clicking on the DOI in the bibliography would take you to the actual paper (if you have access to it).

If your style file doesn't add the DOI, you would need to add code to do so; you can also write your own style file with "latex makebst," though I don't know off the top of my head whether that includes the DOI as a \url or not. (If it does, it'll work without you doing much other than adding hyperref.)
