Template:doi
Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]This template produces a simple, standardized link to a source from the source's digital object identifier (DOI). The DOI is rendered using much of the same code that renders |doi= in Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2 templates except that this template can be used to render multiple DOIs.
Usage
This template accepts these parameters:
|idn=– a DOI identifier; the|idn=parameter name is not required but is recommended for clarity when the template has multiple DOIs|doi-broken-daten=– for use when the doi specified with|idn=does not link to the identified source; enumerators required for second and subsequent DOI identifiers|doi-accessn=– accepts a single valuefree; for use when the doi at|idn=is free-to-read; enumerators required for second and subsequent DOI identifiers; DOI identified sources are assumed to be paywall protected|link=– accepts a single valueno; for use when it is the 'doi:' prefix in the rendering should not be linked|plainlink=– accepts a single valueyes; suppresses the 'doi:' prefix in the rendering|leadout=– defines the conjunction between the last two identifiers in the rendered list; defaults to,
The basic form is:
{{doi|id=10.1016/j.coi.2004.08.001}}→ doi:10.1016/j.coi.2004.08.001
For multiple DOIs:
{{doi|10.1038/380707a0|10.1038/36382}}→ doi:10.1038/380707a0, 10.1038/36382
When the DOI is freely-accessible, tag it as free with |doi-access=free
{{doi|10.1080/00295450.2017.1384269|doi-access=free}}→ doi:10.1080/00295450.2017.1384269
To unlink the prefix:
{{doi|id=10.1016/j.coi.2004.08.001|link=no}}→ doi:10.1016/j.coi.2004.08.001
To suppress the prefix:
{{doi|id=10.1016/j.coi.2004.08.001|plainlink=yes}}→ 10.1016/j.coi.2004.08.001
To use and between the last two identifiers in the rendered list:
{{doi|10.1038/380707a0|10.1038/36382|leadout=and}}→ doi:10.1038/380707a0 and 10.1038/36382
When this template emits an error message for a valid (working) DOI, use the accept-as-written markup ((..)) to suppress the error message.
For instructions on how to use Wikipedia to automatically expand a DOI into a full reference complete with article title, author(s), date, journal name, volume, issue, page numbers, etc., please see User:Citation bot/use.
Tracking categories
- Category:DOI inactive – maintenance category for subcategories named in the form
Category:DOI inactive as of January 2026– for{{doi}}templates marked with|doi-broken-daten=January 2026 - Category:Ignored DOI errors – maintenance category for
{{doi}}templates using the accept-as-written markup((..))to suppress an error message - Category:Unflagged free DOI – maintenance category for
{{doi}}templates that should be marked with|doi-accessn=free - Category:Pages with DOI errors – error category for
{{doi}}templates that show an error message
Because this template uses the same code as cs1|2 templates, error and maintenance visibility is controlled the same way. See Help:CS1 errors § Controlling error message display.
