## What it is
A Zotero add-on that retrieves, validates, and cleans DOIs and shortDOIs for library items using the CrossRef API and shortdoi.org. It marks invalid DOIs and removes unnecessary prefixes from the DOI field.

## Use cases
- fetch missing DOIs for journal articles in Zotero
- validate that stored DOIs are correct
- convert DOIs to shortDOI form
- clean DOI fields by stripping prefixes
- flag invalid DOIs in a reference library

## When to choose
- you manage references in Zotero and need reliable DOI metadata
- you want automated DOI validation before citing sources
- you prefer shortDOIs for compact citations

## When to avoid
- you use a different reference manager than Zotero
- you need batch metadata enrichment beyond DOIs
- you need offline DOI validation

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: plugin-system, http-client, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, education, documentation
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: zotero, doi, reference-management, citation, crossref, academic-research, desktop
