While nice, it really only works with the reference has a direct link to the PDF while the majority of citations use the DOI in the sciences.
DOI traversal would be required
DOI traversal would be required
Searching for something on the page that looks like a download PDF button and trying that might get you 80% of the way there, along with at least giving the user the remaining DOI urls to visit themselves.
This is actually really relevant to a lot of problems I see so if anyone has a general solution / a 90% solution then I'm all ears :)
For DOI 10.1155/2010/963926
http://api.crossref.org/works/10.1155/2010/963926
From the returned JSON message -> link -> there's the PDF!

When a PDF has Crossref CrossMark, the DOI is embedded in the metadata (I can't say how but I can find out)

Just noticed this part of the response:

That's likely to come in really useful, thanks.

Would you open an issue on Github, and perhaps reference a few papers?
