Import Items from DOI

[Avinesh Kumar]

Hi

We at the University of the South Pacific use EPrints software for publications and I am new to the Eprints system. some of our users tried importing publication using DOI but get the attached error message.

Would anyone please be able to assist me in solving this. this seems to be a configuration error and I am not really sure how this is configured.

Your expert advice will be highly appreciated.

Thanks, 

Avinesh

Hi Avinesh,

Welcome to EPrints!

 

This page provides some details for the problem:

https://www.eprints.org/uk/index.php/2017/02/02/import-from-doi-crossref-update/

 

There are two aspects to the fix.

Firstly, check in the file [EPRINTS_ROOT]/perl_lib/EPrints/Plugin/Import/DOI.pm for the following:

my $url = URI->new( "http://www.crossref.org/openurl" );

this should be updated to:

my $url = URI->new( "http://doi.crossref.org/openurl" );

 

The second part, is you need to register with CrossRef for an account for your server.

https://apps.crossref.org/requestaccount/

 

Once you get this account (it's free!), complete the section at the bottom of the file:

[EPRINTS_ROOT]/archives/[ARCHIVE_ID]/cfg/cfg.d/plugins.pl

# You should replace this with your own CrossRef account username and password.

$c->{plugins}->{"Import::DOI"}->{params}->{pid} = "ourl_eprintsorg:eprintsorg";

The format for the 'pid' is 'username:password'.

 

It is then a good idea to run:

 

[EPRINTS_ROOT]/bin/epadmin test

 

which will check there are no problems with the edits you have made to the configuration files.

If the above returns 'OK' then restart the apache webserver, and try importing a DOI again.

 

Hopefully that helps!

Cheers,

John
